The Imperial Empire of White Bluff is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Czarina Nora Alexandria Rose d'Este with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 24.411 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, Environment, and Law & Order. 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 4,621 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 189,313 White Bluffian Guldens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, on-duty Air White Bluff flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, and White Bluff's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. 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 1,034^th in the world and 1^st in Tennessee for Lowest Crime Rates, with 169.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
