The Eiserne and Ewige of Lionsroar is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The Eiserne Paw with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, triple-decker prams, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.659 billion Lionroarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Golden Glowing Halls of the RMB. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lionroarian economy, worth 550 trillion Suppressed Tears a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 150,501 Suppressed Tears, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many Lionroarians are their brothers' keepers, Lionroarians are wondering where have all the flowers gone, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lionsroar's national animal is the Long-maned Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is catsuperiority.

Lionsroar is ranked 3,735th in the world and 1st in Vibonia for Most Patriotic, with 83.39 flags saluted per person per day.
