The Homely Cape of Irithoren is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Zeina Fizairdah with an even hand, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.947 billion Irithorenis are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Administration, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Education is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dhidiyah. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Irithorenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,923 trillion Koronas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 231,540 Koronas, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government is accused of being heartless by those considered brainless, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, the majority whip publicly spanks unruly public servants, and aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Irithoren's national animal is the Fennec, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Irithoren is ranked 308,522^nd in the world and 61^st in Esportiva for Most Cultured, scoring -71 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
