The Parliamentary Republic of New Ice1and is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Gunnar Ætason with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, cynical population of 1.219 billion Nicels are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Feneyjar. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nicel economy, worth 151 trillion Ingots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 124,041 Ingots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The police ransack more houses than criminals do, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, parents are shocked to find out that having kids costs money, and washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ice1and's national animal is the griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Freedom of Religion.

New Ice1and is ranked 268,307^th in the world and 108^th in Mitteleuropa for Largest Black Market, with 74.5 billion Standard Monetary Units.
