The State With the Official Name of Snowish Republic is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jack Aisleman with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.327 billion Snowlanders enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callaine. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Snowish economy, worth 842 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 133,150 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, Jack Aisleman's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Snowish Republic's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Snowish Republic is ranked 265,726^th in the world and 219^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
