The Aborted Syberian Wanderings of Kate Walker is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning Bear population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 25.536 billion Syberians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Kate Walker economy, worth 532 trillion Rubels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,847 Rubels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kate Walker's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kate Walker is ranked 12,196^th in the world and 3^rd in The House at Pooh Corner for Largest Populations, with 25.5 billion capita.
