The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central Cold Steel. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cold Steelian economy, worth 133 trillion Aurorites a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,390 Aurorites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
