The Holy Empire of Easter Waldorff is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The cynical, devout population of 2.016 billion Easter Waldorffians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 63.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Easter Waldorffian economy, worth 189 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,098 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, a division of tanks navigating "as the crow flies" has driven into a ravine, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Easter Waldorff's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Easter Waldorff is ranked 65,237^th in the world and 116^th in Carcassonne for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 4,537.32 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
