The Empire of Iran-e is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 598 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, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. 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 79.1 trillion Darics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 132,279 Darics, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 591,282 per year while the poor average 18,353, a ratio of 32.2 to 1.

Restaurants have noticed that hanging wet laundry from the ceiling makes diners order more food, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, foreign leaders never seem to want to shake hands with Leader, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. 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 274,340th in the world and 113th in Geopolity for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10.95 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
