The Armed Republic of Iceknave is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 537 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Iceknavean economy, worth 21.6 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, 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 212,182^nd in the world and 2,286^th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
