The Iron Fist of The Disposers is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dominus Kaldor with an iron fist, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.927 billion Disposers 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Insurance. The average income tax rate is 67.0%.

The powerhouse Disposer economy, worth 302 trillion Deads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 103,442 Deads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Insurance, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, and the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Disposers's national animal is the Deathstalker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Problem Solving.

The Disposers is ranked 29,842nd in the world and 1,870th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 72.51 kickbacks per hour.
