The Rogue Nation of White Walker 98 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Mabuzaq with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.705 billion White Walker 98ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, 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 Bloemfontaiq. The average income tax rate is 75.7%.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 98ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,545 trillion dollars 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, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. 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 270,978 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and Mabuzaq's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 98'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 98 is ranked 45,910th in the world and 392nd in NationStates for Most Stationary, with 950.18235716068 days.
