The Holy Catholic Republic of Irongirong is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Mordecai Taal with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.233 billion Ironggos have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Spirituality, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iwoo City. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Ironggian economy, worth 110 trillion Kwartas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 89,233 Kwartas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, Roman Catholicism has been named as Irongirong's national religion, jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irongirong's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Irongirong is ranked 133,372^nd in the world and 5,555^th in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 841.06 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
