Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Supremacy of Irankistan is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ahmadinejad Al-Saddat with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.419 billion 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Templarious. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a major religion has been named as Irankistan's national religion, universities are populated by the spawn of the upper classes, and criminals are thrown to the hawks to repay their debt to society. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Irankistan's national animal is the hawk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Irankistanian Kryg.

Irankistan is ranked 2nd in The Great Chihuahua and 27,669th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 25 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
