The reason that we use IRC is that it's pretty much the NationStates standard for chatting. Almost all the large and relevant regions of the game use IRC, which allows for people to be in multiple regional channels at the same time.
I also haven't personally seen much demand for voicechat in general, and those that want to voicechat generally do so in private on Skype 1-on-1. I could be off-base there, but that's the sense I've gotten over my time on NS.
