The Black Iron Prison State of Dungeon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Argus Panoptes with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.061 billion Prisoners are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Panopticon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Imprisoned economy, worth a remarkable 7,774 trillion company scrips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 595,265 company scrips, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,545,638 per year while the poor average 5,735, a ratio of 966 to 1.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, professional athletes can't see balls amid the deluge of advertisements, the nation's new flagship trading company deals exclusively in things no one wants, and eight-year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Dungeon's national animal is the Electric Sheep, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Omnipresent Omniscience.

Dungeon is ranked 55,468^th in the world and 10^th in The Horde for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,865.12 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
