The Irish Republican Army of Belfast Brigade is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Brendan Hughes with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 2.432 billion Irish Republicans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belfast. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Irish Republican economy, worth 25.3 trillion Irish pounds 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining. Average income is 10,395 Irish pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Belfast Brigade has designated Belfast as its capital city, Brendan Hughes has just been declared ruler of Belfast Brigade in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Belfast Brigade's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Belfast Brigade's national animal is the Phoenix and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Belfast Brigade is ranked 328,153^rd in the world and 6^th in Republican Sinn Fein for Highest Average Incomes, with 10,395.66 Standard Monetary Units.
