The State of Snefaldia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High King Zannanza with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 36.309 billion Snefaldians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sargedaín. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Snefaldian economy, worth a remarkable 5,208 trillion Snefaldian Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,450 Snefaldian Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Property subletting is going underground, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, t-bagging dead Bigtopians merits a medal of honor, and government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Snefaldia's national animal is the White Cave Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Aatem Nal.

Snefaldia is ranked 28,979^th in the world and 11^th in Western Atlantic for Highest Average Incomes, with 143,450.84 Standard Monetary Units.
