The Brotherhood of The Iron Knights is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by High Elder Maxson with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.722 billion Iron Knights are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Knightly economy, worth a remarkable 5,248 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,240 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The atmosphere in Knightly boardrooms is turning more gay, the "do ya feel lucky, punk?" scene is on the core syllabus at the National Police Academy, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Iron Knights's national animal is the deathclaw, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Iron Knights is ranked 4,675th in the world and 4th in The Atheist Empire for Most Stationary, with 3,337.66453056 days.
