The United Republic of White America is a massive, devout nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.12 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Christo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over White America, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, the workforce is almost entirely made up of slave labour, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime is a serious problem. White America's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Dollar.

White America is ranked 13th in North Africa and 6,839th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring 9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
