The Republic of AkWhite is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.244 billion AkWhiteans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The AkWhitean economy, worth 56.7 trillion Bullets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 45,542 Bullets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Only the fast and the furious are brave enough to drive, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, AkWhite has designated AkWhite City as its capital city, and telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. AkWhite's national animal is the Blicky, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

AkWhite is ranked 129,012^th in the world and 20^th in Stygian Abbey for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,279.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
