The United States of Walter Jackson is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.982 billion Walter Jacksonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 3.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Walter Jacksonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,508 trillion dollars a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 206,575 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

School uniforms are compulsory, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, and the dartboard at the Walter Jacksonian Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Walter Jackson's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christian.

Walter Jackson is ranked 290,579^th in the world and 6,354^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.82 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
