The Black Lotus Sect of Iron Buddha is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 34.747 billion Siddhi are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Siddha economy, worth 249 trillion Wu Weis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 7,166 Wu Weis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, the Iron Buddha Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and Iron Buddha has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iron Buddha's national animal is the Dark Immortal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iron Buddha is ranked 295,921^st in the world and 8^th in Genesis Defense Project for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -11.03 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
