The Hypnos Worshippers of Antarctic SARNZ is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chief Executive Tenzing Wangdi with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 11.679 billion Cold Ones are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scott Base. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Cold One economy, worth a remarkable 1,811 trillion New Zealand Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 155,103 New Zealand Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Antarctic SARNZ's national animal is the Emperor Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Antarctic SARNZ is ranked 282,923^rd in the world and 197^th in Karma for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -12.65 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
