The Holy Empire of Irigoland is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Holy Imperator and General Smegmaticus with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.466 billion Irigians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Megabase 01. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Irigolandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,062 trillion pennies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 125,533 pennies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 952,172 per year while the poor average 4,621, a ratio of 206 to 1.

The new intercity submarine SSN Jesus Bird Warrior instills terror in claustrophobic travellers, "The Daily Sacrifice" is a routine segment of morning news shows, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Irigoland's national animal is the Jesus Bird, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Smegmatism.

Irigoland is ranked 119,523rd in the world and 71st in The Union of Democratic States for Most Stationary, with 301.03718928052 days.
