The Matrons of Iron Sun Clans is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Iron Sisterhood with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.185 billion Iron Sun Clan members are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matron's Hold. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient strong as Iron economy, worth 66.9 trillion leks 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, Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 56,452 leks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Refugees from other nations are flocking to Iron Sun Clans's border, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps, and a major religion has been named as Iron Sun Clans's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Iron Sun Clans's national animal is the fearsome rodent, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Iron Sun Clans is ranked 90,383^rd in the world and 4^th in Shadowport for Largest Black Market, with 3.15 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
