Waldrich (Waldish: ᚡᛆᛚᛚᛂᚱᛁᚴᛂ, Vallerike), officially the Waldish Confederation (Waldish: ᚡᛆᛚᛚᛋᚴ᛬ᚠᚮᚱᛒᚢᚿᛑ, Vallsk Forbund), is a sovereign state in northern Teleon.  It lies between the Glacian Ocean to the north, the Medan Ocean to the east, the Austerian Mountains to the south, and the Occidental Ocean to the west.  The nation shares borders with Alynland and Valduvia to the west, and Kerckhoff, Arencia, and Widdelia to the south.  Kongsheim is Waldrich's capital and largest city, with other major cities including Hellnafjord, Jarlsvik, Strandhavn, and Hovaberg. With a population of approximately 47 million and a total area of X square kilometers, Waldrich is the 3rd most populous and 4th largest nation in Teleon.

Waldrich is governed as a federal parliamentary constitutional elective monarchy.  The nation is divided into 14 states, which retain substantial autonomy over their internal affairs from the federal government. The Foresitter, currently Mats II, is an elected monarch chosen by the Waldish nobility and serves as the nation's head of state.  The Lawspeaker, currently Edvin Kjeldsen of the Agrarian Party, serves as head of government in a role analogous to that of prime minister.  While the Foresitter retains substantial reserve powers under the Constitution of Waldrich, all executive power is de facto vested in the Lawspeaker, with the monarch primarily serving in a ceremonial role as a figurehead.  The nation's legislature, the Bundsdag, is a bicameral body consisting of an upper house, the Landsting, and a lower house, the Folksting.  Legislation may originate in either house, with the Folksting holding the additional power of forming and maintaining a government.
