The Land of Republic of Irkutsk is a massive, genial nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, otherworldly petting zoo, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 1.436 billion Irkutskians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Irkutsk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Irkutskian economy, worth 177 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,894 Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 357,778 per year while the poor average 34,038, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, billions of Ducats are spent to take high-quality photos of the Bear Nebula, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Irkutskian beaches, and citizens are being told that the greatness of a nation's power is the measure of its surrender. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Irkutsk's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Republic of Irkutsk is ranked 29,372^nd in the world and 82^nd in Novaya Zemlya for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,699.11 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
