Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Depressed State of FitzChivalry Farseer is a colossal, devout nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its intelligent population of 8.37 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass -- concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, elected officials often serve for decades in a single term, the FitzChivalry Farseer Mental Asylum Party have recently won seats in parliament, and surveillance cameras are banned. Crime is well under control. FitzChivalry Farseer's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the skill link.

FitzChivalry Farseer is ranked 2nd in Uroca and 20,941st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
