The Allied States of Ireis is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning Aster population. The hard-working population of 14 million Ireisians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.1%.

The very strong Ireisian economy, worth 833 billion Asters a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Average income is 59,544 Asters, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,895 per year while the poor average 15,108, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Ireis's national animal is the Aster.

Ireis is ranked 191,195^th in the world and 27^th in Asteroid Belt for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 304.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
