The Eternal Union of The Ice States is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by King Pedro Noltensmeier I with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, rampant corporate plagiarism, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.029 billion Icers are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Defense and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Southport City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ice economy, worth 675 trillion Devonian Aiers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 167,632 Devonian Aiers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,078,330 per year while the poor average 10,563, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition, teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, and one year's corporation tax from three international megacorporations has funded one dozen shiny black pencils for King Pedro Noltensmeier I's office. Crime 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 286,092^nd in the world and 83^rd in Greater Dienstad for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -21.21 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
