The Archon Empire of Imperiya Snezhnaya is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Tsaritsa with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 3.162 billion Snezhnayans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zapolyarny Palace. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Snezhnayan economy, worth 229 trillion Moras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,442 Moras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, most citizens in Imperiya Snezhnaya are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imperiya Snezhnaya's national animal is the hilichurl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cryo Worship.

Imperiya Snezhnaya is ranked 71,984^th in the world and 13^th in Noneuropean Union for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 79.11 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
