The Dark Empire of Whiskany is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Dark Lord Voladay with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory gun ownership, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.352 billion Whiskanians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Whiskanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,800 trillion Whiskanian Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 261,574 Whiskanian Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 817,724 per year while the poor average 64,200, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

The value of the Whiskanian Credit is directly tied to the strength of the previous hurricane season, students are taught to count with all 9 fingers, the taste of spices can sail a thousand ships, and woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Whiskany's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Whiskany is ranked 80,541^st in the world and 43^rd in Sancturia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,683.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
