The Dictatorship of The Benevolent Nation of Winterland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mr Frost with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 19.27 billion Nukks enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of O'Tawa. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Nukkadian economy, worth a remarkable 4,716 trillion CADS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 244,779 CADS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, clowns are being rounded up and admitted to mental institutions, and workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings. Crime is totally unknown. The Benevolent Nation of Winterland's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Benevolent Nation of Winterland is ranked 2,090th in the world and 50th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 143.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
