The Rogue Nation of White Walker 27 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Myzghat with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.422 billion White Walker 27ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Somyka. The average income tax rate is 69.2%.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 27ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,588 trillion pounds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 274,729 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Economists claim no news is good news, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 27's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Skroth.

White Walker 27 is ranked 285,052nd in the world and 752nd in NationStates for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 13.9 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
