The Scandinavian Kingdom of Icoland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.486 billion Icolandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Östreinsburg. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Icolandian economy, worth 777 trillion Icoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,755 Icoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Icoland's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Icoland is ranked 10,495^th in the world and 149^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
