The Federation of Vladimir Freezing is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning penguin population. The hard-working population of 129 million Vladimir Freezingians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.6%.

The Vladimir Freezingian economy, worth 5.52 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 42,817 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vladimir Freezing's national animal is the penguin.
