The Republic of SBI 13 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Michael Clarke with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 23.503 billion Irishman are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterfell. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Irish economy, worth 727 trillion Euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Gambling industry. Average income is 30,964 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers have seized control of the economy, crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, SBI 13 has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native Irish lands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SBI 13's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SBI 13 is ranked 21,729^th in the world and 3^rd in The Trident Alliance for Safest, scoring 112.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
