The Chosen Undead of Astrid Weisberg is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Abigail Williams with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 14.131 billion Valenerans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salem. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Valeneran economy, worth a remarkable 4,229 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 299,277 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, economic planning is exalted as a human art form, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime is totally unknown. Astrid Weisberg's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Astrid Weisberg is ranked 33,856^th in the world and 1^st in Memento Mori for Largest Populations, with 14.1 billion capita.
