The Hermit Kingdom of Iron Soviet is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Axel II with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.773 billion Iron Peoples are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iron Citadel. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Iron People economy, worth a remarkable 1,076 trillion soviet coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 285,200 soviet coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Tiger hunting institutions, bands of paramedics walk the streets looking for suspicious medical activity, the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, and programmers often reinvent the wheel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iron Soviet's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Iron Soviet is ranked 11,787^th in the world and 208^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,964.77 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
