The Glacial Dominion of Fjodin is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mother Maxwell with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 6.173 billion Fjodinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syrstad. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fjodinian economy, worth 463 trillion Svëntas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,084 Svëntas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, and Mother Maxwell's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fjodin's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Väkir.

Fjodin is ranked 65,431^st in the world and 1^st in Sarsaparilla Villa for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,830.03 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
