The Most Laziest Confederation of Cold Edge is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by The LDPCE Party with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.325 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 Tokyo IV. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient cold edge citizen economy, worth a remarkable 1,568 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 extensive. Average income is an amazing 214,189 Yen-Won-Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. 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 8,699th in the world and 12th in Council of Asia for Most Developed, scoring 91.59 on the Human Development Index.
