The Heart is Cold of Neutral Federation of the Mountains is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Henri Ermanno with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.617 billion Mountaineers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mozzarella City. The average income tax rate is 61.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Mountaineer economy, worth 477 trillion Rockmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 182,282 Rockmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, foreign leaders are advising that Henri Ermanno's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Neutral Federation of the Mountains's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kitkatism.

Neutral Federation of the Mountains is ranked 14,718^th in the world and 461^st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 182,282.98 Standard Monetary Units.
