The Burnished Rows of Steel of Iron Bark is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sister Christian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The cynical, devout population of 21.308 billion Iron Barkians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marshalsea. The average income tax rate is 59.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Iron Barkian economy, worth a remarkable 2,131 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,009 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.
Acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, and treason is relative. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iron Bark's national animal is the laughing swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Iron Bark is ranked 114,837th in the world and 8th in Islam for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 40,804.04 Standard Monetary Units.
