The Ever Freezing Nation of Zypheria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Damian Wilson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, state-planned economy, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.135 billion slugcats are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frasty. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient slugcat economy, worth 149 trillion pearls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 131,703 pearls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Damian Wilson's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, Damian Wilson's handshakes with opposition leaders usually lead to thumb wars, there's nothing special about Damian Wilson, and an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zypheria's national animal is the White Weasel, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Zypheria is ranked 4,382^nd in the world and 11^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,917.18 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
