The Most Serene Republic of Perma Frost is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 332 million Permafrostians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Equinox. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Permafrostian economy, worth 25.1 trillion shards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,478 shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, Equinox's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and voting is voluntary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Perma Frost's national animal is the Arctic fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Perma Frost is ranked 47,776th in the world and 1,081st in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 153.91 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
