The Unified States of Icenscar is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Raev with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 14 billion Icenscarians 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, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Murainn. The average income tax rate is 90.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Icenscarian economy, worth a remarkable 3,969 trillion Shards a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 283,518 Shards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.
Minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", the nation's arms dealers guarantee discretion and untraceable transactions, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Icenscar's national animal is the Bree Bree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Icenscar is ranked 12,255th in the world and 635th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 109 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
