The Rogue Nation of The Irregular Shirt is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 43.336 billion Irregular Shirtians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Public Transport, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Irregular Shirtian economy, worth 171 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 3,951 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, cars are banned, all industry is owned and run by the government, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Irregular Shirt's national animal is the lemming, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Irregular Shirt is ranked 63,165th in the world and 2,906th in Balder for Safest, scoring 98.14 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
