The Republic of Wallach CVII is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate population of 492 million Wallach CVIIians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.7%.

The Wallach CVIIian economy, worth 14.1 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 28,589 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, the military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, and every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wallach CVII's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Wallach CVII is ranked 100,883^rd in the world and 17^th in Nordwrath for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 96.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
