The Brotherhood of The Iron Knights is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by High Elder Maxson with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.97 billion Iron Knights are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Knightly economy, worth a remarkable 6,446 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 222,532 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, schoolchildren have more trading cards than flash cards in their backpacks, and High Elder Maxson is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Iron Knights's national animal is the deathclaw, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Iron Knights is ranked 8,660^th in the world and 6^th in The Atheist Empire for Highest Average Incomes, with 222,532.4 Standard Monetary Units.
