The Duds of Irish Traders 203 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Bubba Bubba-Billy Bubbabob with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.079 billion Irish Traderish are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bubbaville. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Irish Traders economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 trillion Obamas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,153 Obamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, many Irish Traderish twitch nervously at the sight of nuns, a The Dudlands Tourist Association survey has rated Irish Traders 203 #1 for number twos, and citizens are spontaneously attracted to each other. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irish Traders 203's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Redism.

Irish Traders 203 is ranked 20,860th in the world and 23rd in The Dudlands for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,265.8 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
