The Kingdom of Cill Airne is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Niall Dál gCais with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.124 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 is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muínis. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, organ donation is compulsory, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cill Airne's national animal is the Grey Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Buddhism, and its currency is the Pound.

Cill Airne is ranked 4th in Mundus and 125,593rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -7 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
