Waldrich (Waldish: ᚡᛆᛚᛚᛂᚱᛁᚴᛂ, Vallerike), officially the Waldish Confederation (Waldish: ᚡᛆᛚᛚᛋᚴ᛬ᚠᚮᚱᛒᚢᚿᛑ, Vallsk Forbund), is a sovereign state on the Telmerian Archipelago in northern Berea. It borders the Glacian Ocean to the north, the Medan Ocean to the east, Valmut to the southeast, the Telmerian Sea to the southwest, and X to the west. Kongsheim is Waldrich's capital and largest city, with other major cities including Hellnafjord, Strandhavn, Alsvik, and Hovberg. With a population of approximately 54 million and a total area of 656,803 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 15 states, which retain substantial autonomy over their internal affairs from the national 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 Anders 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.
Waldrich is a great power, wielding significant regional and global influence in economic, cultural, diplomatic, and military affairs. It is a founding member of the Nordbund and Transausterian Economic Partnership, and holds a permanent seat on the World Community Security Council. Waldrich is a developed country, with a high income economy that ranks as the Xth largest in the world. Its economic system, known internationally as the Waldish model, combines high economic freedom with a strong social safety net centered around a universal basic income. Waldrich is a recognized nuclear weapons state under the Treaty of Hellnafjord and possesses the Xth largest military in the world, with a blue-water navy that allows it to project power globally.
