The Rogue Nation of The Irregular Shirt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 43.144 billion Irregular Shirtians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Public Transport, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Irregular Shirtian economy, worth 170 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 3,951 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, cars are banned, all industry is owned and run by the government, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Irregular Shirt's national animal is the lemming, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Irregular Shirt is ranked 137,067th in the world and 2,658th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 225.4027376866 days.
