The United Socialist States of Eireip is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jimothy Bimothy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.278 billion Eireipians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bridger. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Eireipian economy, worth 162 trillion Galactic Standard Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,528 Galactic Standard Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheists in the nation feel uneasy living in buildings where they were once vilified, in a baffling press conference Jimothy Bimothy proudly dismantled a broken door, a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, and Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eireip's national animal is the Doug the Pancake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Eireip is ranked 11,861^st in the world and 67^th in Refugia for Smartest Citizens, with 88.42 quips per hour.
