The Republic of Wallach CXIV is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 531 million Wallach CXIVians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.2%.

The thriving Wallach CXIVian economy, worth 46.8 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,108 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,052 per year while the poor average 22,014, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, there's sophisticated talk of revolution within the ever-expanding mining colonies, lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, and the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wallach CXIV's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Wallach CXIV is ranked 183,573^rd in the world and 1^st in Piberia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 912.86 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
