The Republic of IC-Water is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 132 million IC-Waterians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Law & Order and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.4%.

The all-consuming IC-Waterian economy, worth 8.20 trillion Waters a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 62,148 Waters, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,290 per year while the poor average 8,271, a ratio of 34.4 to 1.

Parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, state media insists that Leader is the most fashionable leader in Infinite Crafts, and taxpayer-funded government ads are promoting Brancaland as a premier filming location. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. IC-Water's national animal is the Goldfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

IC-Water is ranked 176,772^nd in the world and 12^th in Infinite Crafts for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 487.99 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
