The Empire of Whitebeards Empire is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 275 million Whitebeards Empireans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Whitebeards Empirean economy, worth 13.2 trillion ducks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,866 ducks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whitebeards Empirean athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, and notable individuals are granted land and titles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whitebeards Empire's national animal is the Whitebeard Panda, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Whitebeards Empire is ranked 197,018^th in the world and 205^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 30,012.47 Standard Monetary Units.
