The Eternal Union of The Ice States is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Pedro Noltensmeier I with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.292 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 relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized 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 6.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 951 trillion Devonian Aiers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 179,726 Devonian Aiers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,656,402 per year while the poor average 1,963, a ratio of 843 to 1.

Citizens have an obligation to remain silent and anything they say may be used against them, unemployed school bus drivers photobomb virtual classroom meetings, it's a comma comma comma comma comma rebellion, and pretty hair and tight shorts are considered to be essentials for successful political lobbyists. 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 917^th in the world and 4^th in Greater Dienstad for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 10,838.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
