The Empire of Walbard is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Carlisle I with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 31.663 billion Walbardians 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Walbard City. The average income tax rate is 7.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Walbardian economy, worth a remarkable 8,191 trillion Walbardian Viras a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 258,696 Walbardian Viras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Emperor Carlisle I can cry on demand, nobody likes bad boys any more, the Walbardian football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, and government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Walbard's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Walbard is ranked 148,655^th in the world and 21^st in The Empire of Walbard for Most Conservative, scoring 55.33 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
