The Islamic People's Republic of Walhistania is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.199 billion Walhistanis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prestograd. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Walhistanian economy, worth 166 trillion Marqs 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is 75,753 Marqs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views, Islamic Marxism has been named as Walhistania's national religion, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Asiatic honeybeeball fields, and kids laugh off vandalism and arson as "just fun". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walhistania's national animal is the Asiatic honeybee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islamic Marxism.

Walhistania is ranked 62,480^th in the world and 46^th in 8th International for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
