The Wintermootery of The Winter Nomad is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 28.1 billion Winter Nomadians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Winter Nomadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,397 trillion nothings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 49,734 nothings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Winter Nomad's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Winter Nomad is ranked 312,735^th in the world and 209^th in Wintreath for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 343.42 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
