The Holy Blue Ecstasy of Ice Man is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by DJ Crystal Cool the Ice Lady with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.667 billion Icers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal Heart. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iced economy, worth a remarkable 1,385 trillion Snowflakes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 109,342 Snowflakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites, and DJ Crystal Cool the Ice Lady's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ice Man's national animal is the Killer Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Church of Chillax.

Ice Man is ranked 43,527th in the world and 2nd in Bus Stop for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 166.25 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
