The Empire of Ironblood Navy is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by KMS Bismarck with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.685 billion Germans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient German economy, worth a remarkable 1,001 trillion Reichsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 176,207 Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ironblood Navy's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ironblood Navy is ranked 88,304^th in the world and 5^th in Londynium Naval Treaty for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,165.63 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
