The Community of the Frozen Chosen
Though a nation of over 100 million citizens, this nation still maintains the distinctive character of a small intimate community. In fact, some 72% of the Chosen still live in small jungle villages, each boasting an approximate population of 530 and a unique local government. These localities have historically controlled most of the soverign decisionmaking, but now policies have been becoming more centralized. This shift has been accompanied by the rapid growth of The Community's de facto capital, Waltora. The only urban center in the nation, it is fast becoming an icon of progress and modern technology. There is still some resistance to centralization; in fact some villages refuse to acknowledge the existence of Waltora as anything more than a governemtn headquarters. Still, the younger generations have been quicker to accept the new role of Waltora as a central national hub. Waltora is viewed as fulfilling the needs of most efficiently organizing national government and coordinating international diplomacy and trade.

Business & Technology
The Community's fair economy is lead by the Publishing Industry. Books are almost exclusively sold through the export market, since the telepathic majority, aidied by the contruction of an central databank codenamed "Atlantis" in Waltora, have little need for printed materials. This database is currently able to communicate telepathically with citizens, as well as corporate systems, and keep record of all publically important thought, though only with the express permission of the original source brain. While "Atlantis", which is commonly misconstrued as an artificial intelligence, can interact with all individuals, participation in this information sharing is purely voluntary.
The Frozen Chosen have also been pioneers of energy research. Scientist are currently working to refine the dung of various native fauna, which has been the prime source of energy for many villages for centuries, to generate energy in a form more compatible with international standards while maintianing the environmental benefits of recycling dung.
