The North Sea People's Republic of Greater Eireann is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Speaker Rosa Thälmann with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 17.646 billion Northarians 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 medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bergen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Northarian economy, worth a remarkable 6,167 trillion Guinnesses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 349,532 Guinnesses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, people can't decide between preserving forests and buying print copies of 'Dogman Versus The Giggler', census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Eireann's national animal is the Eastern Screech Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Greater Eireann is ranked 4,368^th in the world and 1^st in The Confederacy of Free Lands for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 8,631.35 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
