The United Federation of Waldoven is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Antonius Maesdi with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.532 billion Waldovians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Takti. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waldovian economy, worth a remarkable 1,530 trillion Mals a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,342 Mals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns, the reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, and new cases of Asbestosis are cropping up as quickly as hospitals can deal with them. Crime is totally unknown. Waldoven's national animal is the Dolfini, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alinstoren's Path.

Waldoven is ranked 6,749th in the world and 319th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 143 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
