The State of White Torch is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 33.125 billion White Torchians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas Heights. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient White Torchian economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 33,918 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and White Torch has designated Douglas Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Torch's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
White Torch is ranked 46,032nd in the world and 3rd in Republic of China for Most Stationary, with 946.46490120652 days.
