The Most Laziest Confederation of Cold Edge is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by The LDPCE Party with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.185 billion Japanese Russians and Koreans 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradise. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient cold edge citizen economy, worth a remarkable 1,531 trillion Yen-Won-Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 213,163 Yen-Won-Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air Cold Edge flights to avoid the pay lavatories, one does not simply walk into the tundra, commercial jingles are the nation's greatest export, and life expectancy is way down but posthuman perfectionism is way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cold Edge's national animal is the Akita Inu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cold Edge is ranked 28,427^th in the world and 88^th in Council of Asia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,723.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
