The State of Icecap is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 31.295 billion Icecapians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense and Industry are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 27.4%.

The Icecapian economy, worth a remarkable 1,179 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 37,680 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed and all tariffs have been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Icecap's national animal is the deer.

Icecap is ranked 38,858^th in the world and 62^nd in Ancient Lands for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 765.81 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
