The '''High Republic of Whitehall''', commonly known as '''Whitehall''', is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] located in the [[Buyan Isles]]. It is a [[Middle Power]] and a member of the [[League of Nations]]. Due to its location, the nation has become a key, though controversial, ally of the [[United States of America]] and the [[Orion Treaty Organization]] in the region.

Whitehall's domestic policies have encouraged the development of a highly stratified economy, in which a small 'apex' class attains a high level of luxury through the labor of an under-compensated workforce. As a result of extreme inequality between classes and domestic policy, Whitehall's working class engages in widespread use of chemical suppressants, with over 90% of the population addicted to mood stabilizers, euphorics, or anti-anxiety drugs. A practice of extreme automation, cybernetics, and network intelligence further ensure that the working population, made docile by medicines and drugs, are tightly controlled and work to maintain an impossibly high standard of living for the apex class at little cost. This system has been described as a 'Sedation Economy', and is considered representative of the '[[Transhumanism|Transhumanist]]' ideology.
Whitehall's economy is significantly stratified, possessing a small "apex" upper class which attains its high level of luxury through the utilization of automation, network intelligence, cybernetics, and low-cost labor. Over 90% of the population of Whitehall are chemically dependent on mood stabilizers, euphorics, or anti-anxiety drugs. Some have described this as a "Sedation Economy".


Whitehall's transhuman society is subject to controversy both domestically and abroad. Within the High Republic, sporadic civil unrest and uprising are generally poorly organised and easily put down likely as a result of the isolating effects of a chemically sedated society. Abroad, the nation is the target of heavy criticism, especially from [[Human Essentialism|Human Essentialists]] and human rights organisations. While Whitehall is a key resource in extending Western influence in the Buyan Isles and engages in arms deals with the USA, the Western nations are also facing internal political pressure to place an arms embargo against the High Republic. This movement is particularly prominent as media sources allege that Whitehall uses American weapons against its own citizens to put down internal revolts to maintain a system with one of the worst human rights records in the entire [[Orion Arm]].
[[Amnesty Interstellar]] places Whitehall's human rights record among the worst in the [[Orion Arm]]. Sporadic periods of mass civil unrest on Whitehall have tended to collapse into mass violence subjected to rapid crackdowns. Critics, including several news agencies, have argued that these crackdowns rely on imported technology and munitions from the [[United States of America]] - and have called for the imposition of an arms embargo on the High Republic of Whitehall.

Amnesty Interstellar places Whitehall's human rights record among the worst in the Orion Arm. Sporadic periods of mass civil unrest on Whitehall have tended to collapse into mass violence subjected to rapid crackdowns.
