The Domain of IRTAE is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Primum with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.775 billion Parsians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kapitola. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Irtaean economy, worth a remarkable 2,682 trillion DEMS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 248,970 DEMS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, war vets look after war animals, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, and politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IRTAE's national animal is the Swallow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

IRTAE is ranked 254,379^th in the world and 341^st in The Free Nations Region for Least Corrupt Governments, with 19.18 percentage of bribes refused.
