The Free Land of Snail Mail is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.414 billion Snail Mailians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ellicott City. The average income tax rate is 62.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Snail Mailian economy, worth 488 trillion Valentines a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 110,649 Valentines, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, the endangered saltwater humpback Your Mom is only seen in captivity programs, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", and intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works. Crime is totally unknown. Snail Mail's national animal is the Your Mom, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Snail Mail is ranked 62,799th in the world and 667th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 751.88883823528 days.
