The Republic of Walpole is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program and compulsory military service. The devout population of 6.317 billion Walpoleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.6%.

The large but inefficient Walpolean economy, worth 230 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,465 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, children asking questions about science are referred to relevant sections in religious texts, and victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walpole's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Walpole is ranked 137,163^rd in the world and 28^th in Testregionia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 720.97 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
