The Federal Republic of Walark is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The People's Board with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.453 billion Walarkians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Law & Order and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanloria. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Walarkian economy, worth 254 trillion Walarkian Dollars 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Information Technology 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 an impressive 103,800 Walarkian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No one is worried about government policies any more, popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, the government is a law unto itself, and the ingredients list for most food products covers the entire surface of the packaging. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Walark's national animal is the Walarkian Phusotamus, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Walark is ranked 282,390th in the world and 170th in Anarchy for Most Stationary, with 6.04029474532 days.
