The Unfathomable Power of Steamhammer is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Coal Cokes with an iron fist, and notable for its national health service, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.931 billion Steamhammerians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Steamhammerian economy, worth a remarkable 5,949 trillion steams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,589 steams, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Illicit spice trade makes desert merchants wrangling worms blush, gamblers often find their stakes burnt, Steamhammerians ask their doctors whether chili peppers are right for them, and many Steamhammerians twitch nervously at the sight of nuns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Steamhammer's national animal is the metal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Steamhammer is ranked 325,028^th in the world and 10^th in North Carolina for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
