Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis
The Empire of The Iron Sky is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 563 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Iron Sky City. The average income tax rate is 52%, 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 Arms Manufacturing.
The public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, The Iron Sky has designated The Iron Sky City as its capital city, suppression of pro-democracy protests is a daily occurrence, and The Iron Sky is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Iron Sky's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Deutsches Mark.
The Iron Sky is ranked 3,034th in The North Pacific and 62,391st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -13 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
