The Republic of Snowflake Inc is a large, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 134 million Snowflake Incians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The Snowflake Incian economy, worth 9.22 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 68,835 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is illegal, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and exiles see that the line where the sky meets the sea is just clouds and rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Snowflake Inc's national animal is the shares, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Snowflake Inc is ranked 26,859^th in the world and 217^th in OTC Markets for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,776.68 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
