The Democratic Republic of Iron Rangers is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by a Governor with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 20.898 billion Iron Rangers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duluth. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Iron Rangeran economy, worth a remarkable 2,989 trillion Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 143,040 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, the fattest folk in Iron Rangers look to be the happiest ones, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Iron Rangeran Moonshine". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iron Rangers's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Iron Rangers is ranked 271,182^nd in the world and 9^th in Reality for Most Primitive, scoring -250.31 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
