The Homely Cape of Irithoren is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Zeina Fizairdah with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, flagrant waste-dumping, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.22 billion Irithorenis 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 prioritizes Administration, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dhidiyah. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Irithorenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,986 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 231,484 Koronas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

If foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Irithoren, pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, when conspiracy theorists talk about "government moles" they're referring to mysteriously mobile skin lesions, and official maps have to be revised on a weekly basis. 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 315,990th in the world and 56th in Esportiva for Longest Average Lifespans, with 24.09 years.
