The Disputed Territories of Irigar is a mid-sized, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 99 million Irigarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Irigarian economy, worth 1.60 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 16,130 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, military spending recently hit a new high, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irigar's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Irigar is ranked 75,620^th in the world and 121^st in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
