The Eternal Union of The Ice States is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Pedro Noltensmeier I with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.111 billion Icers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southport City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 917 trillion Devonian Aiers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 179,421 Devonian Aiers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,179,103 per year while the poor average 10,652, a ratio of 110 to 1.

The government is ignoring the latest terrorist atrocities in Southport City for fear of causing a fuss, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", relatives of recent award winners find their trophies make stylish urns, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime, especially youth-related, 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 126,963rd in the world and 30th in Greater Dienstad for Most Extreme, scoring 20.86 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
