The Rogue Nation of Cold Shiver is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 10.107 billion Cold Shiverians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 33.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Cold Shiverian economy, worth 341 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,796 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cold Shiver's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cold Shiver is ranked 167,167^th in the world and 1^st in Axia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
