The Rogue Nation of White Walker 14 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lydia with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, avowedly heterosexual populace, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.222 billion White Walker 14ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bristol. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 14ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,284 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 223,457 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away, students are explicitly allowed to write answers on their forearms before exams, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 14's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Skroth.

White Walker 14 is ranked 1,923rd in the world and 17th in NationStates for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 189,715.15 Standard Monetary Units.
