Language
Ikradonian (Ichredöne) is a Dundorfian-related language [Dutch]. It is similar to Dundorfian (Dundorfe), with many similarties in structure, sound, meaning and pronunciation; but it has evolved over the centuries into a unique language.

Example:
 * Dundorfian - Das Fahrrad ging zu schnell ("The bicycle was going too fast").
 * Ikradonian (Ichredöne) - De fiets ging te snel ("The bicycle was going too fast").

Ikradonian Hymne
The original anthem, proposed by the United Peoples Party of Ikradon, proposed in November 2325 reads as follows:

O Ikradon! Our home and native land. Thy people and thy liberty, we always will defend. Our ancestors have spilled their blood for you to prevail. O Ikradon, o Ikradon! To thy banner we shall hail.

Most beautiful with spacious skies and amber waves of grain, Majestic moutains, high above your rich and golden plains. No enemy shall conquer thee and cause to thee a harm, Our honor and our loyalty shall protect your charm.

The Yellow Party, realizing that a national anthem needs a tune to be able to sing it, wrote one in May 2462 that was approved by the INC. The changes were necessary for the beat and the lyrics to match up.

O Ikradon! Our home and native land. Thy people and thy liberty, we always will defend. Our ancestors have spilled their blood for you to prevail. O Ikradon, o Ikradon! To thy banner we shall hail.

O Ikradon! Your beauty we do know. Your mountains high and rivers deep we cherish and preserve. No enemy shall conquer thee and cause to thee a harm, O Ikradon, o Ikradon, may our will protect your charm.

Few know that there was actually an original anthem written that, although silly, needs to be taken into record. This one was written in December 2097 by the Underappreciated Party of Ikradon.

I wish I was an Ikradoni Penguin, That is what I'd truly like to be, 'cause if I were an Ikradoni Penguin, Everyone would play tennis with me

Economy
Ikradon benefits from a socialistic regulated economy, where most business, including all energy, defense and important industries, are owned by the state. In recent years, the economy has been in a constant eb-and-flow battle, with the Leftist League cabinet nationalizing and regulating more and more, wanting total control of everything by the state, even to reduce net imports to 0,00 IKD, and the opposition trying to keep it partly open.
