The Valinforter Proconsulate of Kriegsreich of Iron is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Zonatan Barak with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, strictly enforced bedtime, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.047 billion Valinforters 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."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Valinfort. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Valinforter economy, worth 605 trillion Ankhs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 198,727 Ankhs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,429,559 per year while the poor average 8,898, a ratio of 160 to 1.

Government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, war criminals are given full state funerals, it's not mass murder when the government does it, and colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kriegsreich of Iron's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Valinforter Economic Forum.

Kriegsreich of Iron is ranked 328,709^th in the world and 22^nd in New Coalition of Nations for Nicest Citizens, with 0.2 average smiles per day.
