The Dictatorial States of Fairmount is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Peter with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.543 billion Fairmountians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Illmoor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Fairmountian economy, worth a remarkable 1,634 trillion Lors a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,050 Lors, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 463,075 per year while the poor average 40,626, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and the government invades its allies more than its enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fairmount's national animal is the Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Fairmount is ranked 73,878^th in the world and 103^rd in Commonwealth of Liberty for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,946.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
