The Crasher Radical of Iconoclast is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 658 million Iconoclastians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Iconoclastian economy, worth 22.5 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,232 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protests are illegal, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iconoclast's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Iconoclast is ranked 235,368th in the world and 81st in Realm of the Whispering Winds for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,395.44 Standard Monetary Units.
