'''UNDER CONSTRUCTION'''


The '''Iron Republic''' is a chaotic colony of [[Devils and Hell|Hell]], permanently free of tyrants... and laws. ''All ''laws and tyrants. Including those humans previously thought were impossible to repeal, such as gravity. Visitors often stay until numbers stop working, or they will at least be subjected to constantly shifting norms. The laws change every day, with no rhyme or reason (except possibly protestors advocating a change to something more convenient, which is known to work on occasion).
