Location: The Heartland

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Disputed Territories of Irimyo is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Grand Dragon Horgiþ with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.446 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Çimanagwo. The average income tax rate is 79%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Divorce lawyers are found begging on the streets, convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, students in Irimyo's schools rarely attend their classes, and priests are being drafted by the church load. Crime is totally unknown. Irimyo's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Drakonism, and its currency is the Floryn.

Irimyo is ranked 53rd in The Heartland and 83,783rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
