LA Ice is a relatively small nation in Stewie Griffland, and is known for its strong anti-welfare stances.

Background

LA Ice is an artificial island, based on mostly Coke bottles and sand sediment. It was unintentionally created by a number of men, who went out fishing every day in 1959, and drank 3 bottles of Coke each. They littered these into the ocean, where, over time, they sedimented into the ground, and became an island in the shape of a Coke bottle. When this finally happened, the men were no longer alive. It took until 2005 for the nation to be founded, by a Mr. Taylor Rundell, who was in a hot-air balloon at the time. He proclaimed the nation as a colony of Australia.

The nation stayed as a colony of Australia for 15 years, until it finally claimed independence from Australia and became part of The Honor Guard. After numerous short region changes, the government decided it would best stay in Stewie Griffland which turned out to be a mistake; a few months later, the entire artificial Island of LA Ice was wsshed away by a tsunami.

Though much publicized on nearby country's news channels, rescue missions were few and far between due to the island's more remote location.

In an attempt to retrieve the advanced Combatech technology of LA Ice, Arcantya, a small nation, co-ordinated a large search and rescue mission. After 5 years and billions of dollars, the entire island was found safe underneath the ground, though isolated. Surprisingly, a large portion of the population was kept alive and had even doubled, though the Government district suffered the most, rendering then-President Valentin Vasquez and his Ministers dead. It is unknown who will supersede though; as of this article, the nation was governed by Arcantya.

Research as to the cause of the tsunami is still ongoing, but the island's population managed to live as a result of its structure and shape, according to scientists. Arcantya is now an official ally of LA Ice, with the two working together regularly.


National Anthem

O Green World
Gorillaz (Noodle)

In most situations, only the first two verses are sung:

O green world,
Don't desert me now
Bring me back to fallen town
Where someone is still alive

Fighting for something new in this
When no one needs the heart of me and I'll
Get out somewhere other than me before...

However, in some situations, the whole song is performed, which includes the first two verses, as shown above, and the following 3 verses:

O green world
Don't deserve me now
I'm made of you and you of me
But where are we?
Oh no


Sells to lie
Phone with talk, you stars
Suppose you
Down when you're in fast
Cause it seems so little to you


But now you're in love, you know
You know, me too
You know, me too
I hope sex and drugs rust into my self, holy
It feels holy
It feels like you're with your father in the place you love...


At government occasions, the song is performed by by a 40-piece rock orchestra, including electric guitar, acoustic guitar, grand piano, synthesizer, bells, strings, and many more.

Trade

The nation exported military robotics under the brand Combatech, and also exported weapon-grade uranium to nations that comply with its strict code of conduct; it is currently unknown if this will resume now that the island has been re-founded. Surprisingly, it imported the rest of its military products.
