The Armed Republic of The Land of Tundra and Crystal is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed population of 3.431 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of LoTaK. The average income tax rate is 47%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism industries.

The Federal Council of The Land of Tundra and Crystal has been announced as the new Head of State, morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers, the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Land of Tundra and Crystal's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the B00nd00llar.

The Land of Tundra and Crystal is ranked 1,718th in Lazarus and 84,463rd in the world for Most Influential, scoring 6 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
