Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Armed Republic of Crazy Irish Men is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.066 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 Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norado. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology industries.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, the government has enacted freedom of information, and televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events. Crime is a problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Crazy Irish Men's national animal is the crow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the clam.

Crazy Irish Men is ranked 15th in Warzone Australia and 73,178th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
