The Empire of Snowsland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Snow Frostwing with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.004 billion Snowslandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snowsville. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Snowslandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,041 trillion snowbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 255,004 snowbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, citizens are constantly disappointed to find their nuisance neighbours are still alive, convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, and children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snowsland's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is The Brotherhood of Snow.

Snowsland is ranked 32,839th in the world and 1,045th in The North Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 864.63 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
