The Principality of Eirkleesm is a mid-sized, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 50 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.2%.

The Eirkleesmian economy, worth 2.69 trillion Lumes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,752 Lumes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has killer fashion sense, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, the average person needs three full-time jobs just to get by, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. 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 195,290^th in the world and 583^rd in Horizon for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 81.03 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
