The Eternal Union of The Ice States is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Pedro Noltensmeier I with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.751 billion Icers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Defense and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southport City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 615 trillion Devonian Aiers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 164,195 Devonian Aiers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,070,629 per year while the poor average 9,966, a ratio of 107 to 1.
Food imports have skyrocketed after the recent 'Forage for Food' program severely backfired, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, and lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Ice States's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order of Klyprer.
The Ice States is ranked 303,622nd in the world and 101st in Greater Dienstad for Most Cultured, scoring 32 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
