The State of Jen Snow is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 32.874 billion Jen Snowians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Jen Snowian economy, worth a remarkable 1,056 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 32,132 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey, Jen Snow has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Jen Snow in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jen Snow's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jen Snow is ranked 58,547th in the world and 2nd in Ecuador for Most Corrupt Governments, with 31.2 kickbacks per hour.
