The Community of Icicle Rush is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.408 billion Icicle Rushians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Industry receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The strong Icicle Rushian economy, worth 92.3 trillion catnips a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 38,313 catnips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 251,291 per year while the poor average 2,287, a ratio of 109 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Harry Potter books are banned, surveillance cameras are banned, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Icicle Rush's national animal is the black cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Icicle Rush is ranked 15,785^th in the world and 7^th in Prison for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 109.27 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
