The Military Industrial Empire of Hierro Land is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by God with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, compulsory gun ownership, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.34 billion Hierro Landians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Divine Metropolis of Wealthistan. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Hierro Landian economy, worth a remarkable 1,576 trillion Francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 471,993 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's best artists are considered pretty easy to beat, the Hierro Landian government claim that Hierro Landians are oppressed out of love, citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers, and people forget to eat because they are too busy singing God's praises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hierro Land's national animal is the Bomber plane, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Hierro Land is ranked 332,123^rd in the world and 700^th in 10000 Islands for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 17.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
