The Dictatorship of Frostbound is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 539 million Frostboundians 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 Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.4%.

The Frostboundian economy, worth 43.1 trillion icicles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,012 icicles, with the richest citizens earning 5.9 times as much as the poorest.

Armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frostbound's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Frostbound is ranked 107,870^th in the world and 77^th in Lesbian for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,568.76 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
