The Homely Cape of Irithoren is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Zeina Fizairdah with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, lack of airports, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.063 billion Irithorenis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dhidiyah. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Irithorenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,942 trillion Koronas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 231,050 Koronas, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Irithoren's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, laws are littered with references to cheese, Zeina Fizairdah has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, and video clips of women firing guns are increasingly popular. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Irithoren's national animal is the Fennec, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Irithoren is ranked 329,529th in the world and 57th in Esportiva for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -18.78 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
