The Imperial Empire of White Bluff is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Czarina Nora Alexandria Rose d'Este with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 24.252 billion White Bluffians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of White Bluff. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient White Bluffian economy, worth a remarkable 4,580 trillion White Bluffian Guldens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 188,878 White Bluffian Guldens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stoogery and pratfalls are about as scathingly clever as White Bluffian humor gets, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and on-duty Air White Bluff flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Bluff's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neopaganism.

White Bluff is ranked 1,024th in the world and 1st in Tennessee for Lowest Crime Rates, with 169.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
