The Supreme Dictatorship of The Iron League is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Universal Ruler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 44.987 billion Iron Leaguerans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Iron League City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Iron Leaguer economy, worth an astonishing 31,957 trillion gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 710,382 gils, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,139,774 per year while the poor average 57,490, a ratio of 72.0 to 1.

Euthanasia is illegal, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', the line of people waiting for a visa interview in front of foreign embassies is typically a mile long, and bleach is the nation's most common pesticide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Iron League's national animal is the lueshi, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Supreme Universal Rulerism.

The Iron League is ranked 3,482nd in the world and 1st in Supremacy for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 13,446.26 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
