The Imperial Capital of Walbard City is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by King Carlisle I with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.419 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 27.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Walbard Cityian economy, worth 707 trillion Viras a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 95,424 Viras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, the arms industry is strictly regulated, King Carlisle I's power is effectively nullified as no bill becomes law without the upper house's support, and if foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Walbard City. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walbard City's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Walbard City is ranked 83,084^th in the world and 12^th in The Empire of Walbard for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,806.69 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
