The Diplomatic Association of Test Icicle is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by James Ford with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 45.481 billion Test Icicleans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Education, although Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Public Transport and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zonzibar. The average income tax rate is 24.9%.

The very strong Test Iciclean economy, worth a remarkable 2,335 trillion ices a year, is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,358 ices, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, automotive regulators are throwing in the towel, the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, and even God cannot save you in Test Icicle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Test Icicle's national animal is the icle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Test Icicle is ranked 97,536th in the world and 35th in Nudist Dreamland for Most Developed, scoring 62.03 on the Human Development Index.
