The Kingdom of Wintermoore is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Fríðunn Lassen with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 15.136 billion Winterians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eyjafjoll. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Winterian economy, worth a remarkable 2,353 trillion Credit Argents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 155,495 Credit Argents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Wintermoore's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Wintermoore is ranked 137,143rd in the world and 33rd in Alcris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.73 kickbacks per hour.
