The Riocht Dleathach of Fenian Provinces is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sam Adams with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.765 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aosta. The average income tax rate is 18%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Gambling.

The government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, and students in Fenian Provinces's schools rarely attend their classes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fenian Provinces's national animal is the osprey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Roman Catholicism, and its currency is the póca.

Fenian Provinces is ranked 29th in Europe and 2,564th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
