The Commonwealth of Frostland 156 is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.344 billion Frostland 156ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The very strong Frostland 156ian economy, worth 80.7 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,055 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,593 per year while the poor average 15,462, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Frostland 156's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Frostland 156 is ranked 223,170^th in the world and 2,998^th in Cities of the World for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -5.14 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
