The Commonwealth of South Waldron is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 268 million South Waldronians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invergordon. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse South Waldronian economy, worth 26.1 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 97,360 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors prescribe medicines produced by the last pharmaceutical company to give them a free pen, cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling, burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown. South Waldron's national animal is the sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

South Waldron is ranked 53,095^th in the world and 232^nd in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,776.73 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
