The Rogue Nation of White Walker 40 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Daedalus with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.859 billion White Walker 40ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icarus. The average income tax rate is 40.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 40ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,616 trillion marks 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 265,380 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One does not simply walk into the tundra, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and adulthood begins with the creation of an email account. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 40's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Skroth.

White Walker 40 is ranked 305,400th in the world and 641st in NationStates for Most Primitive, scoring -371.55 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
