The Strength of Fire and Steel is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Fanny Flame with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 25.607 billion Fire and Steelians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Steeltown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.

The thriving Fire and Steelian economy, worth 968 trillion Steels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 37,827 Steels, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Fire and Steel to be bombproof, and Fanny Flame has just been declared ruler of Fire and Steel in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Fire and Steel's national animal is the elephant and its national religion is Fire.

Fire and Steel is ranked 127,396th in the world and 4th in Starfall for Most Stationary, with 265.47335787472 days.
