The Republic of Irtysh is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kira Svetlykh with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.183 billion Irtyshians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Omsk. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Irtyshian economy, worth 186 trillion altyns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,581 altyns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Too many developers spoil the codebase, third world countries are rich in "I Love Omsk" t-shirts, the Irtysh Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', and nose plugs are the latest Irtyshian fashion accessory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irtysh's national animal is the sterlet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.
Irtysh is ranked 29,049th in the world and 4th in Siberia for Smartest Citizens, with 53.77 quips per hour.
