The 4-time Olympic Medalist of Gretchen Walsh is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 3.769 billion Gretchen Walshians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Gretchen Walshian economy, worth 199 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,808 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, fruit market traders let their stock spoil rather than reduce their prices at the day's end, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gretchen Walsh's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gretchen Walsh is ranked 171,269^th in the world and 9,463^rd in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 510.23 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
