The Democratic States of Ice and Tinian is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Icelus with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.832 billion Ice and Tinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capital. The average income tax rate is 13.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Ice and Tinianian economy, worth 308 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,028 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice and Tinian is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, tourists avoid using the nation's bugged phones and monitored internet, the nation refuses to provide international aid, and homophobia is off the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ice and Tinian's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ecclesiarchy.

Ice and Tinian is ranked 141,182^nd in the world and 7,494^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 8.52 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
