The Jingoistic States of The whalessenge is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.764 billion whalessengeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.1%.

The powerhouse whalessengean economy, worth 600 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,802 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 408,774 per year while the poor average 11,683, a ratio of 35.0 to 1.

Government popup ads are springing up like weeds, all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets, and Leader makes and breaks shaky peace deals in 140 characters or less. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The whalessenge's national animal is the kangaroo.

The whalessenge is ranked 64,004^th in the world and 1,089^th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 118.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
