The Republic of Irmaignie is a huge, safe nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 307 million Irmaignieans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Irmaigniean economy, worth 11.1 trillion Irmaigne francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,158 Irmaigne francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, all beauty contests have been banned, the government seizes all major gold finds, and selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irmaignie's national animal is the Quail, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Irmaignie is ranked 206,197^th in the world and 4,897^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
