The Irish Free State Leadership of Michael Collins is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Taoiseach with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.409 billion Michael Collinsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 40.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Michael Collinsian economy, worth a remarkable 6,138 trillion Irish Pounds a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 232,438 Irish Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, the internet has been placed under government control, and obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Michael Collins's national animal is the Irish Setter, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Michael Collins is ranked 289,401^st in the world and 714^th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 33.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
