“Freedom comes from the barrel of a gun”

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

The Empire of Snowsland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Snow Frostwing with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.254 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, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snowsville. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Snowslandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,306 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 249,208 snowbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, 'Totally Not Partisan News' is a line item on the government budget, and ride-sharing often involves some passengers sitting on the roof rack. 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 51,698^th in the world and 1,050^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,843.58 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
