The Republic of Tsardom of Zimnyaya is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Президент В В Паймон with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 2.728 billion Zimnyayans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Масковия. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zimnyayan economy, worth 490 trillion Moras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 179,909 Moras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hell is not always other people, political cartoons depicting Президент В В Паймон's face on an Ice ursa's buttocks are selling like hotcakes, graffiti graces every city's streets, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsardom of Zimnyaya's national animal is the Ice ursa, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Fatua Orthodox Christianity.

Tsardom of Zimnyaya is ranked 6,679^th in the world and 10^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Highest Poor Incomes, with 147,587.16 Standard Monetary Units.
