The Republic of IC-Water, also known as the Right Wing Utopian Republic of IC-Water, or for short IC-Water (Infinite Crafts-Water) is a large, in terms of population, efficient nation, in terms of economy, in Strangereal Roleplay. It is renowned for its public floggings, a type of punishment, irreverence towards religion, causing it to make the country atheist, and spontaneously combusting cars, causing its important ranks for people to be not good. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of an estimate of 56 million (unofficial census) IC-Waterians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails. The medium-sized government prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality, which turned the country to atheist and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.7%, which is low, making it have a high freedom of tax. The powerhouse IC-Waterian economy, worth 3.02 trillion Waters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, scoring 11k, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, scoring 6k, Soda Sales, also scoring 6k, and Automobile Manufacturing, scoring 3k. Black market activity is notable, as it has 100b. Average income is 53,961 Waters, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 215,847 per year while the poor average 9,060, a ratio of 23.8 to 1, which is high. Recent issues show that sports journals are full of uplifting puff-pieces on professional boxers, people experiencing anaphylactic shock are told to buck their ideas up, rioting and unrest sweep the nation, and euthanasia is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, as it grew to 2 recently, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. IC-Water's national animal is the Goldfish, due to it being a popular water animal, which is also the nation's favorite main course, called the "Sauteed Goldfish", which is served to 7 michelin restaurants, one of the lowest in SR. IC-Water plans to ally with lots of nation soon, as it is a new country, but so far, there's no allies yet. Since the country is also newly created, there's no enemies of IC-Water, or nations that has bad relations with IC-Water, also meaning that IC-Water is not at war. In SR, IC-Water is a right-wing utopian republic in the continent of Verusa, bordering the countries Prathia and Wellesley, and the Tsyemny Sea. No area has been stated, due to unknown reasons.
