The Republic of Ickdom is a titanic, efficient nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 22.11 billion Ickdomians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The thriving Ickdomian economy, worth a remarkable 1,241 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Average income is 56,173 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,835 per year while the poor average 11,458, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ickdom's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Ickdom is ranked 254,125^th in the world and 1^st in Ickdom for Safest, scoring 27.45 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
