The Most Serene Republic of Fireatal is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy. The democratic population of 4.709 billion Fireatalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Fireatalian economy, worth 141 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Gambling, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,142 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, the tenet of free speech is held dear, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fireatal's national animal is the unicorn.

Fireatal is ranked 84,143^rd in the world and 3,713^th in Osiris for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 329.79 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
