The Fiefdom of Ironsmith is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 1.269 billion Ironsmiths are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Ironsmith economy, worth 43.4 trillion silver stags a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 34,224 silver stags, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a major religion has been named as Ironsmith's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Ironsmith in an international press conference, and Ironsmith has designated Ironsmith City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ironsmith's national animal is the mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ironsmith is ranked 122,072^nd in the world and 7^th in North for Highest Poor Incomes, with 26,789.41 Standard Monetary Units.
