The Winter 360 No-Scopers of Sniper Slayers is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by some snowy Finnish guy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.819 billion Sniper Slayers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sniper Slayersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,456 trillion BMG rounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 186,338 BMG rounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of some snowy Finnish guy, and citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sniper Slayers's national animal is the guy over there, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Quick-scopism.

Sniper Slayers is ranked 5,551st in the world and 16th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 9,804.27 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
