The Protectorate of Ice Cubed is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.328 billion Ice Cubedians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ice Cubedian economy, worth 30.7 trillion Solidified H2Oes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Book Publishing, Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 9,219 Solidified H2Oes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ice Cubed's national animal is the Iceberg.

Ice Cubed is ranked 253,114^th in the world and 5^th in Odrya for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.75 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
