The Empire of Fgthjtrzhjsber is a huge, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 640 million are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Public Transport, and Commerce. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling industries.

Marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, erhbtfrshbtsrs are considered a delicacy, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and military spending is on the increase. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force. Fgthjtrzhjsber's national animal is the erhbtfrshbtsr, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the rhezsbhrbhtr.

Fgthjtrzhjsber is ranked 7th in Alberta and 70,126th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
