The Empire of Frigid Alfheim is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Alea Far-Seer with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 10.549 billion Frigid Alfheimians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alfia. The average income tax rate is 71.7%.

The large but inefficient Frigid Alfheimian economy, worth 508 trillion Alfcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,207 Alfcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, fruit vendors are encouraging a life of crime in their advertising, and schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Frigid Alfheim's national animal is the Stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Templarism.

Frigid Alfheim is ranked 47,727^th in the world and 1^st in Wealth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
