The People's Justice of Kirrlark is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Atlas with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 9.381 billion Kirrlarkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atla. The average income tax rate is 10.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kirrlarkian economy, worth 659 trillion Purnies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,256 Purnies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, it's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, and internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kirrlark's national animal is the Grey Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.
