The United Federation of Waldoven is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ahmad Doni with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.744 billion Waldovians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avenja. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waldovian economy, worth 453 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 165,449 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Dolfini Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls, the number of judges has tripled in recent months, the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. Crime is totally unknown. Waldoven's national animal is the Dolfini, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Waldoven is ranked 2,482^nd in the world and 2^nd in Lorania for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 313.61 Bank.
