The United Socialist States of Irish people union is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.333 billion Irish people unionians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Irish people unionian economy, worth 88.7 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 66,535 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, it is still not known if the commander in chief outranks the supreme commander, IPU-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irish people union's national animal is the Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Irish people union is ranked 26,381^st in the world and 594^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Food Quality, scoring 87.31 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
