Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Nomadic Peoples of Aryan Iran is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, cynical population of 5.86 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 51%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Aryan Iran's national animal is the sepiru, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the magallatu.

Aryan Iran is ranked 26th in Iran and 55,446th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
