The Republic of SSN82 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Daniel O'Connell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, vat-grown people, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.166 billion SSN82ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dublin. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SSN82ian economy, worth 761 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 182,869 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals, people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Daniel O'Connell, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SSN82's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Celtic Paganism.

SSN82 is ranked 53,176^th in the world and 1^st in Irish Republics for Most Extreme, scoring 30.85 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
