The Intellectual Iconoclasts of Icarianna is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Rick with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 35.899 billion Icariannans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icarianna City. The average income tax rate is 8.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Icariannan economy, worth a remarkable 8,485 trillion nectar-laden flowers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 236,373 nectar-laden flowers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Grumpy old house owners demand that pedestrians get off their footpaths, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, and couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material'. Crime is totally unknown. Icarianna's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Icarianna is ranked 578th in the world and 3rd in Nudist Dreamland for Nicest Citizens, with 106.22 average smiles per day.
