The Radchaai Province of Ifreann is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Anaander Mianaai with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 45.56 billion Iffies are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ifreann Palace. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Iffish economy, worth an astonishing 11,239 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 246,689 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, and vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ifreann's national animal is the fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is the Radchaai religion.

Ifreann is ranked 3,181^st in the world and 1^st in The Isles O Chocolate Coatings for Most Developed, scoring 96.94 on the Human Development Index.
