The United States of Waladis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by O5 Council with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.48 billion Waladisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Earth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Waladisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,364 trillion Wadinoes a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 205,969 Wadinoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 581,408 per year while the poor average 58,409, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The government keeps its thumb on the scales of justice, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, and nations across the world are quick to praise O5 Council's good looks and intellectual prowess. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Waladis's national animal is the SCP and its national religion is warlordism.

Waladis is ranked 160,905^th in the world and 4^th in Sol 8 for Most Beautiful Environments, with 508.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
