The Revolutionary People's Duchy of South Iravistan is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Comrade-Princess with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.288 billion South Iravistanis enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iravibad. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient South Iravistani economy, worth a remarkable 1,902 trillion IRD - Iravi Donkats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 302,484 IRD - Iravi Donkats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Criminals always seem to be forewarned of police raids, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare South Iravistanis can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, books are so highly regarded in South Iravistan that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Iravistan's national animal is the Iravistani Red Donkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is in the inevitable victory of our ideals.
South Iravistan is ranked 9,562nd in the world and 22nd in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 34,920.95 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
