The Republic of Republic of Steel is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 468 million steelians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorpion City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The powerhouse Republic of Steelian economy, worth 48.5 trillion silver coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 103,723 silver coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 676,324 per year while the poor average 6,295, a ratio of 107 to 1.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, and Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Republic of Steel's national animal is the Scorpion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Republic of Steel is ranked 306,914^th in the world and 3,309^th in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.91 average smiles per day.
