The Allied States of The Iron Lions is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Father Lionel Atrox with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 20.198 billion Iron Lions 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Father Lion's Hall. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Iron Lionisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,510 trillion Lionisian Crowns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,811 Lionisian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, and the nation's space program is doxxing the planet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Iron Lions's national animal is the Arctic lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Hands of Iron.

The Iron Lions is ranked 304,094^th in the world and 4,556^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 3.57 Obesity Rate.
