The Mafia Syndicate of Deadly Tundra is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Council of Criminal Gangs with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 1.265 billion Crimes are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Spirituality are also considered important, while Law & Order and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Vorkuta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Crime economy, worth 165 trillion ammos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 130,901 ammos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,197,065 per year while the poor average 1,553, a ratio of 770 to 1.

All prisons have been eliminated, the government's new 'Crime Can Fight Itself' policy appears to be backfiring rather badly, international war crimes are good for business and business is booming, and Council of Criminal Gangs's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Deadly Tundra's national animal is the polar owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Deadly Tundra is ranked 34,190th in the world and 10th in Gypsy Lands for Highest Average Incomes, with 130,901.34 Standard Monetary Units.
