The Grand Nomadic Empire of The Iron Khagnate is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yöbgü Kaghan with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.4 billion Alchons are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chashmara. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alchonian economy, worth 607 trillion Soms a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,645 Soms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, planespotters are emigrating in droves, sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, and Yöbgü Kaghan has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Iron Khagnate's national animal is the Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tengrism.

The Iron Khagnate is ranked 18,466th in the world and 309th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 94 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
