The United States of Walter Jackson is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 17.039 billion Walter Jacksonians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 3.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walter Jacksonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,508 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 205,916 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, an opal a day keeps the negative thoughts at bay, and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walter Jackson's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christian.

Walter Jackson is ranked 283,277^th in the world and 6,206^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 19.34 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
