The Battleship of BB-61 USS Iowa is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Vice Admiral Robert P Briscoe with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 6.945 billion Sailors have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bridge. The average income tax rate is 27.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient a Sailor economy, worth 322 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,366 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Guns has been named as BB-61 USS Iowa's national religion, the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and half-naked men feature prominently in official military materials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BB-61 USS Iowa's national animal is the Red Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Big Guns.

BB-61 USS Iowa is ranked 77,564^th in the world and 5^th in Zentari for Safest, scoring 91.36 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
