The Republic of Last Waltz is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning stardust population. The hard-working population of 222 million Last Waltzians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.1%.
The Last Waltzian economy, worth 8.41 trillion moonlarks a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 37,865 moonlarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Last Waltz's national animal is the stardust.
Last Waltz is ranked 156,129th in the world and 75th in One in a Million for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.75 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
