The Protectorate of IRS is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 4.958 billion IRSians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The IRSian economy, worth 240 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 48,441 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, and the nation is infamous for its mass graves of discarded robots. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IRS's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

IRS is ranked 137,595^th in the world and 2^nd in nine for Largest Populations, with 4.96 billion capita.
