The Kingdom of Waldrop is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.51 billion Waldropians 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Waldropian economy, worth a remarkable 1,209 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 161,006 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most ambassadors from Waldrop retire only a few years after being appointed, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, and the fattest folk in Waldrop look to be the happiest ones. Crime is totally unknown. Waldrop's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Waldrop is ranked 1,767^th in the world and 1^st in Duckling for Most Politically Free, scoring 97.67 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
