The Commonwealth of Wallowes is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.263 billion wallowesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of mariland. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient wallowesian economy, worth 63.9 trillion walloesian dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,627 walloesian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, one can wake up in Wallowes and have breakfast in Bigtopia, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wallowes's national animal is the pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Wallowes is ranked 87,515^th in the world and 1^st in camsgifted for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 304.79 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
