The Kingdom of Ikartha is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by King Beauregard Edward Plimpton III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its burgeoning crane population. The cynical, devout population of 6.446 billion Ikarthans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Tomás de Torquemada. The average income tax rate is 31.0%.

The Ikarthan economy, worth 255 trillion Atlantean Drachmas a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,650 Atlantean Drachmas, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Psychological disorders are a taboo subject, Sedevacantist Atlantean Orthodox has been named as Ikartha's national religion, King Beauregard Edward Plimpton III has just been declared ruler of Ikartha in an international press conference, and the family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ikartha's national animal is the crane and its national religion is Sedevacantist Atlantean Orthodox.

Ikartha is ranked 301,061^st in the world and 41^st in Atlantis for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,012.04 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
