The Islamic Peoples State of Autocraticstan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.139 billion Iranians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tehran. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Iranian economy, worth 270 trillion Rials a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,351 Rials, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,166 per year while the poor average 35,761, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Adult unemployment is rising as available jobs are filled by young children, rag-wearing teachers are often mistaken for homeless people, the fate of the world literally rests on Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's fingers, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Autocraticstan's national animal is the Persian Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shia Islam.

Autocraticstan is ranked 28,025^th in the world and 3^rd in The Domana Universe for Most Developed, scoring 83.72 on the Human Development Index.
