Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federal Republic of FDR is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Franklin Delano Roosevelt with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 1.169 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Social Welfare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC BABAY. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime is totally unknown. FDR's national animal is the Fala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Frank.

FDR is ranked 29th in St Abbaddon and 96,648th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
