The Borderlands of Ictus is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister ZG Edmondson with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 21.668 billion Ictusians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stratton City. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Ictusian economy, worth a remarkable 3,114 trillion Fiats a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,714 Fiats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The aims of top-secret Ictusian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and senior literature classes are left analysing why Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is so darn sunny. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ictus's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ictus is ranked 14,439th in the world and 168th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 1,814.72159552188 days.
