The Kingdom of Winter Aura is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.788 billion Winter Aurans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glacier Cavern. The average income tax rate is 36.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Winter Auran economy, worth a remarkable 1,386 trillion Aurums a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,420 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Winter Aura's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Whatever.

Winter Aura is ranked 16,245^th in the world and 312^th in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 88,162.58 Standard Monetary Units.
