The Homely Cape of Irithoren is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and cultivated feral children. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 13.108 billion Irithorenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Industry and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irithoren City. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Irithorenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,616 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, highly 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 impressive 199,581 Koronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, critical thinking is grounds for expulsion from university, the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events, and offering a builder a cup of tea is a legal minefield. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Irithoren's national animal is the Wasp, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Irithoren is ranked 224,909^th in the world and 52^nd in Esportiva for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,028.8 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
