The Ivorish Coast of Almost Ireland is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its public floggings, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.43 billion Nearly Irish Peoples are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Administration, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Almost Irelandian economy, worth 54.7 trillion black beers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,260 black beers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, school uniforms are compulsory, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Almost Ireland's national animal is the african leprecaun, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Almost Ireland is ranked 35,153^rd in the world and 56^th in The Wellspring for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,881.18 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
