The Holy Blue Ecstasy of Ice Man is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by DJ Crystal Cool the Ice Lady with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.776 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 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iced economy, worth a remarkable 1,960 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 110,283 Snowflakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, and press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause. 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 7,252^nd in the world and 1^st in Bus Stop for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,383.58 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
