The Democratic Republic of Northern Irleise is a large, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 81 million Northern Irleiseans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Northern Irleisean economy, worth 2.52 trillion Euros 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, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, 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 31,117 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School uniforms are compulsory, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Irleise's national animal is the Red Deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Northern Irleise is ranked 25,515^th in the world and 63^rd in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,017.27 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
