The People's Republic of Union of Socialist Irish Republics is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.748 billion Irish enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Irish economy, worth a remarkable 1,150 trillion Libras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 170,523 Libras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Illegal hunting is rife after veganism was recently made compulsory, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, organ donation rates have hit a new low, and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of Socialist Irish Republics's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Union of Socialist Irish Republics is ranked 14,509^th in the world and 137^th in 10000 Islands for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,632.62 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
