The Ice Queendom of Weiss Schnee is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Weiss Schnee with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.976 billion Schneeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vale. The average income tax rate is 81.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Schneean economy, worth a remarkable 2,490 trillion Liens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 249,617 Liens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Women give birth underneath so many blankets that the doctor can't feel the bump, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, Schneean watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum. Crime is totally unknown. Weiss Schnee's national animal is the Junco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deity Brothers.

Weiss Schnee is ranked 5,552^nd in the world and 1^st in Remnant for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 538.55 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
