The Hour in White of The Watchman is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Watchman with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The devout population of 9.821 billion Witnesses 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Mansus. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Witnessian economy, worth 428 trillion spintrias a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,599 spintrias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, all screens are equal but some are more equal than others, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, and glamping Witnesses won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Watchman's national animal is the hint, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Glory.

The Watchman is ranked 67,387^th in the world and 20^th in The Mansus for Largest Populations, with 9.82 billion capita.
