The Eternal Union of The Ice States is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Pedro Noltensmeier I with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.971 billion Icers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Defense and Administration also on the agenda, 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 661 trillion Devonian Aiers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 166,560 Devonian Aiers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 993,129 per year while the poor average 12,761, a ratio of 77.8 to 1.
Smog in Southport City is so bad that fresh air bottles are sold by street vendors, peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, and political shows are fit for purpose. 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 142,855th in the world and 55th in Greater Dienstad for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,863.27 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
