The Federation of Wallachinstein is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ricardo of the Middle with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 9.039 billion Wallachians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vallahia. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wallachian economy, worth 858 trillion wallachmarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 94,981 wallachmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wallachinstein's national animal is the Bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Commie Magic.

Wallachinstein is ranked 122,469^th in the world and 2^nd in The Realm of Rats for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,037.88 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
