The Democratic Republic of Iricsa is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 203 million Iricsans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.
The strong Iricsan economy, worth 8.38 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is 41,279 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.
Defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, it's never "just a game" with Iricsan sports fans, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iricsa's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Iricsa is ranked 219,636th in the world and 6,080th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 247.93 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
