The Rogue Nation of White Walker 25 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Stryker with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.172 billion White Walker 25ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dolphinland. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient White Walker 25ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,483 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 342,421 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of White Walker 25, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response, and the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. White Walker 25's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Skroth.

White Walker 25 is ranked 2,549th in the world and 9th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 135.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
