The Constitutional Monarchy of Steeltown is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.575 billion Steeltownians 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Steeltownian economy, worth 581 trillion great divideses 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. 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 impressive 127,115 great divideses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Steeltownian beaches, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Steeltown's national animal is the girl with grey eyes, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Steeltown is ranked 59,683rd in the world and 567th in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,867.28 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
