The Allied States of The Iron Lions is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Father Lionel Atrox with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 14.931 billion Iron Lions are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Father Lion's Hall. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Iron Lionisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,329 trillion Lionisian Crowns a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,047 Lionisian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Iron Lions's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

The Iron Lions is ranked 4,069th in the world and 179th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 186 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
