The Country of Erin,

Trade and Influence: 5/10

       Diplomacy: 5/10

       Economics: 8/10

The country is based off of switzerland. The country largely ignores world conflict and has the following motto:

Erin will not attack another nation, will not allow another nation to attack them, and will not intervene in the conflicts of other nations

The country is one of the largest economic super powers. It uses this economic strength as part of it's defense strategy to fund a mostly defensive military though it does have the technology to lash out in long distances. There is a mutual defense pact with Fire which allows us to peacefully co-exist and trade with each other.

Cultural Specialites:

Erin's Trade and Influence as well as Diplomancy is low because they don't get involved in the affairs of other countries. However, they are more than willingly to moderate conflicts to help countries get to a peaceful resolution. On the other hand, the infulence is also low because the country diplomats do not mind games and are blunt and straight forward. They get to the heart of the matter that is causing conflict.

Special Tactic: Research and Development. We dump tons of money into every kind of research.
