The Free Land of New Ironland is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 106 million New Ironlandians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.8%.
The very strong New Ironlandian economy, worth 6.07 trillion Irons a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 57,225 Irons, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.
Organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ironland's national animal is the Iron Ant.
New Ironland is ranked 262,056th in the world and 4,792nd in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 6.84 average smiles per day.
