The Armed Republic of Iceknave is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 646 million Iceknaveans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Iceknavean economy, worth 26.0 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,172 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iceknave's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iceknave is ranked 221,074^th in the world and 1,861^st in the Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 31,535.28 Standard Monetary Units.
