The Rogue Nation of White Walker 17 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Beach Patrol with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.283 billion White Walker 17ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Roselips. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.8%.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 17ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,111 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 302,623 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 987,586 per year while the poor average 69,759, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, foreign lack of enthusiasm for White Walker 17ian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 17's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Skroth.

White Walker 17 is ranked 6,807th in the world and 93rd in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 109.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
