The Holy Blue Ecstasy of Ice Man is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by DJ Crystal Cool the Ice Lady with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.411 billion Icers enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystal Heart. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Iced economy, worth a remarkable 1,352 trillion Snowflakes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 108,972 Snowflakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Ice Man's national animal is the Killer Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Church of Chillax.

Ice Man is ranked 11,999th in the world and 10th in Bus Stop for Most Stationary, with 2,080.99157094232 days.
