The Republic of White Noise is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Thomas Richard Harryman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, smutty television, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 27.146 billion White Noiseans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

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 8.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient White Noisean economy, worth a remarkable 8,999 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 331,517 Bloodmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves, newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. 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 645^th in the world and 1^st in Critical Mass for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 304,995.76 Standard Monetary Units.
