Location: The Alliance of Queens

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Empire of Fioteria is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Specter Outcast with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 10.837 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, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Phantom. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, refugees from other nations are flocking to Fioteria's border, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fioteria's national animal is the buddapest, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the spec.

Fioteria is ranked 4th in The Alliance of Queens and 11,235th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
