The Rogue Nation of White Walker 16 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hudson with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.129 billion White Walker 16ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wolverine. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient White Walker 16ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,498 trillion guilders a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 246,688 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, billions of guilders are spent to take high-quality photos of the Penguin Nebula, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 16's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Skroth.
White Walker 16 is ranked 20,181st in the world and 256th in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 1,613.91839764712 days.
