The United Socialist States of Eire Cill Dara is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Saoirse Bradigan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 756 million Eire Cill Darans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uiscí Gorma. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Eire Cill Daran economy, worth 40.5 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,587 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Eire Cill Dara will pay them to stop, Saoirse Bradigan has just been declared ruler of Eire Cill Dara in an international press conference, nobody is forced to join the armed forces, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eire Cill Dara's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Eire Cill Dara is ranked 78,328^th in the world and 26^th in Ridgefield for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,283.46 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
