The Corporatocratic Electorate of Irminsulia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Corporatocratic State Affairs Board with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 18.945 billion Irminsulians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irminsul. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Irminsulian economy, worth a remarkable 4,589 trillion Irmarks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 242,278 Irmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Rioting and unrest sweep the nation, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and it's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Irminsulia's national animal is the Hippocampus Ravus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Corporatocratic Church of Irminsulia.

Irminsulia is ranked 329,809^th in the world and 1,413^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -17.25 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
