The Intellectual Iconoclasts of Icarianna is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Rick with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.188 billion Icariannans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icarianna City. The average income tax rate is 8.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Icariannan economy, worth a remarkable 8,044 trillion nectar-laden flowers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 235,293 nectar-laden flowers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, President Rick is quite hard to get a hold of, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags. Crime is totally unknown. Icarianna's national animal is the Butterfly, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Icarianna is ranked 133,568th in the world and 59th in Nudist Dreamland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.4 law-abiding acts per hour.
