The Helvinmark Commonwealth of New Iredale is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 12.064 billion New Iredalians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Iredale. The average income tax rate is 31.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Iredalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,403 trillion krúnurs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 116,314 krúnurs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Iredale's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Iredale is ranked 210,445th in the world and 71st in Geopolity for Most Stationary, with 36.9252888678 days.
