The Allied States of The Iron Lions is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Father Lionel Atrox with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 5.609 billion Iron Lions are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Father Lion's Hall. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Iron Lionisian economy, worth 835 trillion Lionisian Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,035 Lionisian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Iron Lionisian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Iron Lions's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Iron Lions is ranked 6,896^th in the world and 373^rd in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 96.13 Atheism Rate.
