The United States of Walter Jackson is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, triple-decker prams, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.904 billion Walter Jacksonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Walter Jacksonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,488 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,344 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Many politicians are having to do a hard day's work for the first time in their careers, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, bris parties are all the rage, and most barbers are also surgeons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walter Jackson's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christian.

Walter Jackson is ranked 770^th in the world and 38^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 179.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
