The Supreme Dictatorship of The Iron League is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Universal Ruler with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, teetotalling pirates, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 43.368 billion Iron Leaguerans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Iron League City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Iron Leaguer economy, worth an astonishing 30,532 trillion gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 704,028 gils, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,153,397 per year while the poor average 55,341, a ratio of 75.1 to 1.
Meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, and every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Iron League's national animal is the lueshi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Supreme Universal Rulerism.
The Iron League is ranked 147,851st in the world and 1st in Supremacy for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 837.81 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
