The Commonwealth of Irivials is a large, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 124 million Irivialsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Irivialsian economy, worth 6.93 trillion dinars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,848 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, news headlines usually include p-values, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irivials's national animal is the black eagle.

Irivials is ranked 142,327^th in the world and 536^th in Concord for Highest Average Incomes, with 55,848.43 Standard Monetary Units.
