The Rogue Nation of White Walker 18 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Xyzka with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.265 billion White Walker 18ians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meridian. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 18ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,841 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 276,837 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 18's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Skroth.

White Walker 18 is ranked 265,977th in the world and 452nd in NationStates for Most Primitive, scoring -218.65 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
