Economy & Government
The Frozen Empire of Four Hectares is a massive, arctic nation, a champion of modern capitalism and serves as a global economic role model. Legislating from the capital city, Brutus, the democratic government assumes a mostly conservative stance in modern politics and its citzens are afforded a modest amount of civil and political freedoms. It's economy is highly open and free-market, which allows the nation to consistently achieve high economic ratings, extremely low rates of full employment (less than 3%) and a GDP per capita above $40,000/year. It's national animal is the elephant, which is strange considering that no elephant could possibly survive in the brutally cold, arctic conditions which characterize the nation's climate. It's currency is the regional WW$ETI.
History
The Frozen Empire of Four Hectares was born on December 28, 1961 when the national Constitution was signed on a bitterly cold, snowy morning (-42F) in the nation's newly proclaimed capital, Brutus.
The history of the region goes back almost 150 years, when the West Pacific explorer, Captain Roland, first landed on the eastern shores of what would eventually come to be called the WWSETI region. He soon fell in love with the region's enviornmental diversity and it's native people and eventually gave up his very lucrative sailing career to settle there, becoming the region's first leader. Captain Roland's discovery attracted people of every color, race and creed from all over the NS World, thanks to a very savvy advertising campaign and a series of horrific wars between other regions. By 1955, all but the vast northernmost reaches of the region's land had been explored and mapped and the region was an economic and democratic success. It was assumed that the arctic regions were completely uninhabitable, due to extremely cold temperatures, permafrost and harsh blizzards, 9 months out of the year.
At this point, we enter the world of James F. Gigler. A young and eager explorer from the North Pacific region, Gigler was attracted to the WWSETI's northernmost reaches because of their sheer size, not to mention that he had a controlling stake in several ski resorts back in the North Pacific and the area had a vast mountain range running right through it. He told President Roland of the Hagge nation that he intended to explore and properly map the region, as well as found a nation there.
