The Iron Empire

The Iron Empire is a powerful and militaristic nation ruled by an emperor who is revered as a god by his people. The country is known for its advanced technology, particularly in the field of metallurgy, which allows them to create superior weapons and armor.
 
  The Iron Empire is home to the world's largest steel foundry, where hundreds of skilled artisans work day and night to produce the finest quality steel. The emperor of The Iron Empire is said to wear a suit of armor made entirely of solid gold, which is encrusted with precious jewels and worth a fortune. The country's military is divided into five main branches: the Iron Legion (heavy infantry), the Iron Guard (elite knights and regular infantry), the Iron Fleet (naval force), the Iron Eagles (airborne division), and the Iron Heralds (Seige and demolition).
  The emperor's personal bodyguards are a group of fierce warriors known as the Iron Wolves, who are said to be able to take down a charging bull with their bare hands. Not many of these trained warriors exist, but one Iron Wolf could easily take 20+ trained soldiers all by themselves. These wolves are said to have been trained by the emperor himself, and are known for their secrecy and sworn loyalty to their God-Emperor.
  While tales abound of the emperor donning a suit of solid gold armor encrusted with precious jewels, this extravagant attire remains unseen by the public eye, existing solely within the realm of propagandistic imagery. Nevertheless, it stands as a symbol of the empire's opulence and the emperor's alleged divine status.
  The Iron Empire has a long-standing rivalry with a neighboring country known as The Silver Technocracy. The Iron Empire declared war on The Silver Technocracy about 2 years ago, and have already seized about 35-50% of their land.
  Geography: The Iron Empire boasts a treacherous landscape dominated by towering mountains, rugged cliffs, and winding rivers. Deep valleys slice through the land, presenting both natural obstacles and strategic advantages for the empire's military operations. Within this unforgiving terrain, nature has bestowed upon the country a bountiful reserve of vital resources. Its subterranean depths house vast reserves of iron, coal, and precious metals, serving as the lifeblood of the empire's industry and militaristic might.
  Society: The Iron Empire is a highly stratified society, with a rigid class system based on military rank and social status. The population is estimated to be around 500,000 people, with the vast majority being soldiers or laborers. The ruling elite live in opulent palaces and estates, while the common people struggle to make ends meet.
  Culture: Strength, courage, and unwavering loyalty are virtues highly esteemed within the Iron Empire. The people, deeply indoctrinated into their military heritage, ardently celebrate their victories with grandiose displays of nationalistic fervor. Public spectacles and pageantry glorify the empire's military conquests, fostering an atmosphere of enforced pride and unwavering obedience.
  Economy: The Iron Empire is a major producer of weapons and armor, which are in high demand throughout the region. The country also exports iron and other metals, as well as coal and other minerals. Agriculture is limited due to the rocky terrain, but the country is able to sustain itself through hunting, fishing, and trade.
  Politics: The Iron Empire is an absolute totalitarian dictatorship, with the emperor holding ultimate power over all aspects of government and society. One of the country's most important laws is the prohibition on magic, which is strictly forbidden and punishable by death. Every citizen, even the highest noble in the land, is subject to this law.
  Demographics: The population of The Iron Empire is mostly made of dwarves, humans, and goliaths, with a small number of dragonborn and gnomes living in the mountainous regions. The country is highly militarized, with every able-bodied person forced to serve in the military for 5 years. Every
  Religion: The official religion of The Iron Empire is the Iron God, which worships the emperor as a divine figure. The religion teaches that the emperor is the embodiment of strength and power, and that he is destined to lead the country to greatness. Worship of any other diety is banned and punishable by death. These traditions of loyalty to the Emperor start early, with children being taught from birth that their purpose is to serve the emperor, and that any other being who does not serve the Emperor is a traitor and should be killed on the spot.
