The Republic of White Noise

“Blood for Blood”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of White Noise is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Thomas Richard Harryman with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 27.216 billion White Noiseans 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 tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dethklok. The average income tax rate is 8.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient White Noisean economy, worth a remarkable 9,038 trillion Bloodmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 332,116 Bloodmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime is totally unknown. White Noise's national animal is the Blood Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pastafarian.

White Noise is ranked 41,502^nd in the world and 2^nd in Critical Mass for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,550.74 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
