The Free Land of Snowlit is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 4.706 billion Snowflakes hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frost. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Snowlitian economy, worth 235 trillion Pebbles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,093 Pebbles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Frost make great practice for foreign snipers, ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, and the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria. Crime is totally unknown. Snowlit's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Snowlit is ranked 171,837^th in the world and 9,518^th in Lazarus for Highest Average Incomes, with 50,093.2 Standard Monetary Units.
