The Wanted Antifa Kingpin of Mr Walrus is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 24.388 billion Mr Walrusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Mr Walrusian economy, worth 449 trillion Pot Nuggets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Tourism and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 18,447 Pot Nuggets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is giving peace a chance, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, badminton was recently banned due to 'unacceptable violence' inherent to the game, and the government pours millions of Pot Nuggetss into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mr Walrus's national animal is the Walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Discordianism.

Mr Walrus is ranked 58,839th in the world and 2nd in Antifa for Nicest Citizens, with 15.9 average smiles per day.
