The Grand Duchy of Fumigate is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Louis XVII with a fair hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 12.368 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 concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienne. The average income tax rate is 37%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, abortions are routinely performed in Fumigate's hospitals, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime is totally unknown. Fumigate's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Franc.

Fumigate is ranked 45th in Australia and 98,361st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
