The Constitutional Monarchy of Firever is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Aelfwynn with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, ritual sacrifices, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.768 billion Firevis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asher. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Fireverian economy, worth 432 trillion Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 114,660 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

King Aelfwynn's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firever's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Firever is ranked 51,118th in the world and 42nd in Sparkalia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,837.99 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
