Culture

Language

The Irish Families Official Language is English. There are obvious differences between the English that is spoken in IF from that which you would hear elsewhere. The way that it is spoken differs as well as the grammer. The differences are small but noticeable. Only an English teacher would catch the gramatical differences but the accent is noticeable by all those who talk to an IF citizen. The accent makes it hard to understand if you are not used to listening to it. It is a combination of all the accents brought to the country by the Irish Clans. The Northerners, Southerners, Plains Clan, and the Mountain Clans all brought their own accents into the mixture of what you would hear today if you spoke with a citizen of IF.

Military

1/3 of Irish Families population is fit to serve in its armed forces. Roughly only 1/20 of its population actually makes up the armed forces.

With a population of roughly 3.5 Billion people. Irish Families has just over 1 Billion people fit for the armed services but roughly only .16 Billion people are actually in the armed forces.

The seperation of these 160 Million people, in the differing branches of the IF Military, is still being calculated at the moment.

Rough Estimates

Army: 80 Million Air Force: 30 Million Navy: 40 Million Special Forces: 10 Million Total: 160 Million National Guard: 30 Million Reserves: 60 Million Net Total: 250 Million

Technology

Environment

The Irish Families enviroment is in good shape overall. The only people who disagree are members of the radical interest group, Mother Earth. They wish for every man made creation to be demolished and destroyed and to have only the natural to be seen. To the far north of Irish Families is the National Park. It is well taken care of and only a certain amount of people are allowed on the park, to help the park rangers who have to take care of it. There are also very strict rules on how to dispose of trash while in the park, so strict that it is a federal offense if you do it incorrectly or even litter. The least appealing location in all of Irish Families are the oil fields in the Resource Provinces. Other than those the enviroment is well protected, but not to the extent that many may wish.

Economy

Irish Families economy is capitalist based with a few socialist programs. Including Unemployment, Welfare, and few others. The economy is centered around the idea that the best product, at the lowest price, is the most succesful. With this idea the Irish Families government tries to keep out of the business of trade as much as possible. The largest influence that the government has is the protection of small business from the largest businesses that fight for their rights to hold monopolies on their products if they are capable to do so.

The whole monopoly debate has been huge in Irish Families since one man owned the only communication network in one of the provinces and had jacked the prices so high only a select few in the rich upper class could afford to have even one line in their homes.

The largest economical legislation to soon be passed effects the way that the IF government collects the taxs from the people. The results of the debate will be posted at a later date.
