The Republic of Wallach II is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its digital currency, lack of airports, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 697 million Wallach IIians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wallach IIian economy, worth 53.2 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 76,392 Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, calling dibs is an unalienable right, apples shaped like baguettes have become a strange new food fad, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wallach II's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Wallach II is ranked 291,536^th in the world and 93^rd in Wallach for Largest Black Market, with 37.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
