The Waltuh of -Walter Hartwell White- is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 697 million Waltuhs enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The strong Waltuh economy, worth 40.2 trillion Meths a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 57,726 Meths, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 374,212 per year while the poor average 3,561, a ratio of 105 to 1.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. -Walter Hartwell White-'s national animal is the Jesse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

-Walter Hartwell White- is ranked 249,298th in the world and 82nd in MJT for Most Conservative, scoring 30.8 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
