The Corporatocratic Electorate of Irminsulia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Corporatocratic State Affairs Board with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 13.751 billion Irminsulians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irminsul. Income tax is unheard of.

The powerhouse Irminsulian economy, worth a remarkable 2,956 trillion Irmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 214,981 Irmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Hippocampus Ravus, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and Irminsulian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Corporatocratic State Affairs Board. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Irminsulia's national animal is the Hippocampus Ravus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Corporatocratic Church of Irminsulia.

Irminsulia is ranked 286,427^th in the world and 1,367^th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -476.32 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
