The Rogue Nation of White Walker 17 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Beach Patrol with an iron fist, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.424 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 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 17ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,167 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 303,826 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 952,779 per year while the poor average 74,235, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

It's rare to find an unchewed pencil, wrongful arrests abound as 'criminals' blame the guy next to them, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. 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 284,083rd in the world and 741st in NationStates for Safest, scoring 3.44 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
