The Republic of Snowtown is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 543 million Snowtownians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Blizzard. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Snowtownian economy, worth 44.5 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,026 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', the true length of the coastline of Snowtown may never be measured, t-bagging dead Bigtopians merits a medal of honor, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snowtown's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Snowtown is ranked 273,353^rd in the world and 1,064^th in Europeia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 25.87 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
