The Supreme Dictatorship of The Iron League is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Universal Ruler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.888 billion Iron Leaguerans 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 minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Iron League City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Iron Leaguer economy, worth an astonishing 31,826 trillion gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 709,015 gils, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,182,817 per year while the poor average 55,733, a ratio of 75.1 to 1.

Annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, and all music has been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Iron League's national animal is the lueshi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Supreme Universal Rulerism.

The Iron League is ranked 2,896th in the world and 1st in Supremacy for Most Patriotic, with 96.07 flags saluted per person per day.
