The Dominion of The Eireannian Overseas Territories is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Veia O'Dálaigh with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.464 billion Northarians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bergen. The average income tax rate is 36.0%.
The very strong Northarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,081 trillion Guinnesses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,956 Guinnesses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Eireannian Overseas Territories's national animal is the Eastern Screech Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Reformed Orthodox Christianity.
The Eireannian Overseas Territories is ranked 64,952nd in the world and 7th in The Confederacy of Free Lands for Most Patriotic, with 21.68 flags saluted per person per day.
