The Kingdom of Winter Aura is a titanic, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 21.314 billion Winter Aurans 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 Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glacier Cavern. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Winter Auran economy, worth a remarkable 2,428 trillion Aurums a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,935 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Winter Aura's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Whatever.

Winter Aura is ranked 250,485^th in the world and 2,128^th in the West Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -6.32 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
