Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Golden Kingdom of Fiwatreje is a massive, devout nation, ruled by Vegetarian Selkodi I with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.81 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden Selkon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31%. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, criminals are thrown to the Golden Dragons to repay their debt to society, police and sick people alike fear the Day of Rest as all institutions are forced to shut down, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Fiwatreje's national animal is the Golden Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Goldism, and its currency is the GAP Golden Artifact Pieces.

Fiwatreje is ranked 335th in 10000 Islands and 17,518th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
