The Most Laziest Confederation of Cold Edge is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by The LDPCE Party with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.169 billion Japanese Russians and Koreans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradise. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient cold edge citizen economy, worth a remarkable 1,543 trillion Yen-Won-Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 215,234 Yen-Won-Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, you can get married in sickness and in health but not internationally, and the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cold Edge's national animal is the Akita Inu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cold Edge is ranked 28,700^th in the world and 86^th in Council of Asia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,709.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
