The Freezer that is full of Frozen Donkeys is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.699 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 77%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Artists are pillars of society, breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, all forms of advertising are banned, and the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frozen Donkeys's national animal is the very cold donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the frostbitten ear.

Frozen Donkeys is ranked 1st in new folsom and 58,517th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 18 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
