The Community of The Liberated Peoples of Walsh is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Captain with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.99 billion Walshians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Llandaff. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Walshian economy, worth 499 trillion Makarovs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 83,417 Makarovs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, only rebellious teens who want to look cool and dangerous drink milk in public, the 'sing-a-long with Captain' album is a popular souvenir, and the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Liberated Peoples of Walsh's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Collectivisia.

The Liberated Peoples of Walsh is ranked 22,393^rd in the world and 1,393^rd in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,581.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
