The Federal Republic of Coldistania is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Tadhg Sickles with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.51 billion Coldists 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coalville. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Coldistanian economy, worth 108 trillion Coldas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,160 Coldas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, and the best doughnut stores have been taken over by foreign police officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coldistania's national animal is the Spectral Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coldistania is ranked 48,207^th in the world and 884^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,889.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
