The Kingdom of Hell Freezing is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jack Frost with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 42.528 billion Hell Freezingians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The very strong Hell Freezingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,542 trillion anthracites a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,266 anthracites, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The "blue screen of death" forces many trials to be either aborted or restarted, sick days are on the rise, colonial subjects have Hell Freezingian culture shoved down their throats, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Hell Freezing's national animal is the little devil and its national religion is Monotheism.

Hell Freezing is ranked 127,609^th in the world and 9^th in The Kingdom of Burgundy for Most Developed, scoring 57.67 on the Human Development Index.
