Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Principality of Eirkleesm is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The cynical population of 7 million Eirkleesmians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 32.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Eirkleesmian economy, worth 309 billion Lumes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,159 Lumes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Theories that hold water are considered to have failed, Eirkleesm City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, and political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eirkleesm's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eirkleesm is ranked 258,864^th in the world and 698^th in Horizon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.68 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
