The People of The Longhouse is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Grand Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 21.118 billion Iroquois love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Onondaga. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Iroquois economy, worth 422 trillion good wills a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,989 good wills, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, all 'unconventional' weaponry has been banned, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Longhouse's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Gaihwi io.

The Longhouse is ranked 199,327^th in the world and 3^rd in Democratic Socialist Alliance for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
