The Republic of East Wali is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ethan Lunther with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 3.052 billion East Walians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Walisia City. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient East Walian economy, worth 636 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 208,659 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, the East Walian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, and almost half of the child population live rough on the streets. Crime is totally unknown. East Wali's national animal is the Molasi-Malaya Rhino, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Wali is ranked 6,990^th in the world and 313^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 142 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
