The Empire of Iran-e is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 557 million Iranians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhages. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Iranian economy, worth 71.9 trillion Darics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 129,166 Darics, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 549,229 per year while the poor average 19,564, a ratio of 28.1 to 1.

Requests to "pass the salt" are supported by tank divisions, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, men stare at wall-pictures of Leader's face when they visit public urinals, and young girls aren't having a ball but they are enjoying themselves. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Iran-e's national animal is the Shahbaz and Simurgh, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Iran-e is ranked 3,615^th in the world and 4^th in Geopolity for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 11,879.47 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
