The Supreme Dictatorship of The Iron League is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Universal Ruler with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 43.357 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, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. 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 30,554 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 704,715 gils, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,121,104 per year while the poor average 56,564, a ratio of 72.9 to 1.

Children often kick lueshis for amusement, children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job', women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, and illegal book-trafficking rings dominate the black market. 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 25^th in the world and 1^st in Supremacy for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 68,313.04 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
