The Second Federal Republic of Jirena is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Heath Barron with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.921 billion Jirenans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jeuno. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Jirenan economy, worth 825 trillion Jirenan Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,355 Jirenan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, the government offers gay men mildly offensive tips on how to pass as straight, and local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities. Crime is totally unknown. Jirena's national animal is the Alleiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Jirena is ranked 108,204^th in the world and 2,801^st in Lazarus for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,116.53 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
