The Saorstát Éireann of Kilkire is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Stephen Brugha with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.246 billion Kilkireans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cill-Airne. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kilkirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,025 trillion Punt Éireannaches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,200 Punt Éireannaches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bars are packed at all hours, from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Kilkire, door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', and graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation'. Crime is totally unknown. Kilkire's national animal is the Red Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Kilkire is ranked 4,848^th in the world and 156^th in The East Pacific for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 2,009.58 Tourists Per Hour.
