Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Holy Catholic Celtic Kingdom of North Breifne is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by King Féidhlim with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.92 billion are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Religion & Spirituality, with areas such as Social Equality and Healthcare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coláiste na Tríonóide. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45%. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Gambling and Door-to-door Insurance Sales.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency, the colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, and abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics. Crime is crippling. North Breifne's national animal is the phoenix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Roman Catholicism, and its currency is the dollar.

North Breifne is ranked 108th in Coalition of Catholic States and 129,105th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 4 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
