“Freedom comes from the barrel of a gun”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Snowsland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Snow Frostwing with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.026 billion Snowslandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snowsville. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Snowslandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,017 trillion snowbucks 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 251,345 snowbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, a passport is literally priceless, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snowsland's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Brotherhood of Snow.

Snowsland is ranked 276,925^th in the world and 6,137^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 33.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
