The People's Republic of Union of Socialist Irish Republics is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory vegetarianism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 7.94 billion Irish enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Irish economy, worth a remarkable 1,362 trillion Libras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 171,605 Libras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
