The Eiserne and Ewige of Lionsroar is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Eiserne Paw with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, avowedly heterosexual populace, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.627 billion Lionroarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Golden Glowing Halls of the RMB. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Lionroarian economy, worth 556 trillion Suppressed Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 153,453 Suppressed Tears, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
It is mandatory for actors to exit stage left, ghost regiments exist only on paper, foreign nationals are widely distrusted, and doctors will keep brain-dead coma patients ventilated for years in order to avoid accusations of allowing people to die. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lionsroar's national animal is the Long-maned Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is catsuperiority.
Lionsroar is ranked 286,516th in the world and 560th in Vibonia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 4.46 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
