The United Socialist States of Eireip is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jimothy Bimothy with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.247 billion Eireipians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

Average income is an impressive 124,211 Galactic Standard Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eireip's national animal is the Doug the Pancake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eireip is ranked 198,673^rd in the world and 94^th in Refugia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 899.94 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
