The Disputed Territories of Snow 32 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.446 billion Snow 32ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Snow 32ian economy, worth 177 trillion moons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 39,900 moons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Burning members of the Order of Violet is the nation's favorite pastime, newspapers print only headlines, the climate agreement has actually increased the volume of hot air in the atmosphere, and stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snow 32's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Snow 32 is ranked 110,512^th in the world and 5,548^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
