“Ask about our Latin motto contest”

The Dubsy of Ifreann is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by WC Imperial Court with a fair hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.943 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boobopolis. The average income tax rate is 100%. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, the breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Ifreann, military funding has been stripped back, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Ifreann's national animal is the Vanilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Orthodox Boobism, and its currency is the Chocolate Sprinkle.

Ifreann is ranked 1st in the region and 626th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
