AnimalBob Dylan Supporting Cast

The Band's Farewell Concert of The Last Waltz is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robbie Robertson with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 25.639 billion Last Waltzians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toronto. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Last Waltzian economy, worth a remarkable 7,436 trillion Canadian Bands a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 290,060 Canadian Bands, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 852,344 per year while the poor average 77,766, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Much of The Last Waltz's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield, veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing, and Robbie Robertson is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Last Waltz's national animal is the Bob Dylan Supporting Cast, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

The Last Waltz is ranked 276,641st in the world and 390th in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 33.85 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
