Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Liberty Alliance Servant of Finavarra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Divine Emperor C O Fathaigh with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 10.671 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fidh an Bheara. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and all judiciary cases are decided in the court of public opinion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Finavarra's national animal is the Findabair, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Liberty.

Finavarra is ranked 4th in Liberty Alliance and 3,807th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
