The Disputed Territories of Irigar is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 36 million Irigarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Irigarian economy, worth 580 billion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 16,130 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, military spending recently hit a new high, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irigar's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Irigar is ranked 199,220^th in the world and 156^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 9.81 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
