The Restored American Republic of New Iredale is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President-Elect with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.063 billion New Iredalans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Iredale. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Iredalan economy, worth a remarkable 1,037 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 114,507 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper sales are up, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, scientific progress marches ever forward with the first ever launch of a cheeseburger into space, and President-Elect's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Iredale's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Iredale is ranked 225,777^th in the world and 155^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 18.89 Tourists Per Hour.
