The Proud Nation of Republic of Eir is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mateusz with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.15 billion Eirians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lufton. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Eirian economy, worth a remarkable 1,686 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 206,886 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Eir's national animal is the Goldfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Republic of Eir is ranked 16,905th in the world and 878th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,076.43 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
