The Confederacy of Waligon is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 399 million Wolieses are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kielv. The average income tax rate is 20.0%.

The strong Waligonian economy, worth 23.7 trillion Tsael Laevs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,523 Tsael Laevs, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, cities in Waligon declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waligon's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Waligon is ranked 30,468^th in the world and 403^rd in Europe for Nicest Citizens, with 20.14 average smiles per day.
