The Commonwealth of Eirrige is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 766 million Eirar are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dyflin. The average income tax rate is 51.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Eirskt economy, worth 54.0 trillion Krónas 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. 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 70,491 Krónas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parking's carefree without parking car fees, the Federal Council of Eirrige has been announced as the new Head of State, sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, and the realistic depiction of tentacles is on the core syllabus of most art schools. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eirrige's national animal is the Hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eirrige is ranked 237,794^th in the world and 961^st in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4.82 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
