The People's Republic of Whitloria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 349 million Whitlorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Whitlorian economy, worth 15.4 trillion grams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,028 grams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, the tragedy of the commons is being tested nationwide but everyone says it's somebody else's problem, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, and counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whitloria's national animal is the domestic cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Whitloria is ranked 268,847^th in the world and 1,711^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -13.04 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
