“Money is Happiness”

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

The Militaristic State of Irvone is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Andrew Murray with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.159 billion Irvonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Murian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Irvonean economy, worth 543 trillion Irvonian Stonks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 251,947 Irvonian Stonks, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, girls in elementary school classes gaze longingly at boys playing tag, Andrew Murray's latest speech included a bizarre reference to MaxWow incontinence pads being 50% more absorbent than the next leading brand, and flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Irvone's national animal is the Irvonian Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Irvone is ranked 259,109^th in the world and 1,552^nd in 10000 Islands for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.37 bananas ingested per day.
