The Democratic Republic of FireSnow is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Yfinit with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.895 billion FireSnowians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snowflake. The average income tax rate is 43.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong FireSnowian economy, worth 126 trillion Fiows a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 66,872 Fiows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. FireSnow's national animal is the Onça, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catolicismo.

FireSnow is ranked 57,775^th in the world and 1,752^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
