The His Excellency of Ognjen Ahmadinejad is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Ognjen Ahmadinejad with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 4.138 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, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tehran. The average income tax rate is 55%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth, aging citizens are celebrating the end of the 'Early Bird War', Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, and the government has enacted freedom of information. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ognjen Ahmadinejad's national animal is the Persian Leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Shi'a Islam, and its currency is the Iranian Rial.

Ognjen Ahmadinejad is ranked 13th in Federation of Free States and 16,276th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 26 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
