The Republic of Irzemai is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Warc Handon with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.426 billion Irzemaians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rini. The average income tax rate is 22.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Irzemaian economy, worth 192 trillion Rinis 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. 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 56,212 Rinis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Irzemai's radio stations, and it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food'. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irzemai's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Irzemai is ranked 68,729^th in the world and 35^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Patriotic, with 20.48 flags saluted per person per day.
