Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Parliamentary Democracy of Fischistan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Nikolas Germoni with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.272 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neigeton. The average income tax rate is 30%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, abortions are routinely performed in Fischistan's hospitals, the government is reining in public spending, and Prime Minister Nikolas Germoni has just been declared ruler of Fischistan in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low. Fischistan's national animal is the Condor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Vaalbar.

Fischistan is ranked 53rd in Vaalbara and 46,959th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
