The Democratic Republic of Iarann Grudaidh is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Kesley Taylor with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 10.09 billion Grudaidhians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duff Gardens District. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Grudaidhian economy, worth a remarkable 1,645 trillion Grudaidhian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 163,073 Grudaidhian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Iarann Grudaidh's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Iarann Grudaidh is ranked 47,392nd in the world and 3rd in Northern Ocean for Most Cultured, scoring 72 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
