The Christian Republic of The real Ireland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Max Mcclanahan with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The devout population of 2.829 billion Irish 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Payson. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Irish economy, worth 273 trillion Lads a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,605 Lads, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The real Ireland's national animal is the German Shepherd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The real Ireland is ranked 47,375^th in the world and 1,046^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 155.03 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
