The Kingdom of Fithel is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 657 million Fithelians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Artilleriestadt. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.7%.

The all-consuming Fithelian economy, worth 69.4 trillion Graetes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,692 Graetes, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, an inkwell of goats' blood is supplied on school desks across the nation, devotion to God is only skin-deep, and automotive regulators are throwing in the towel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fithel's national animal is the schwarz gekleidete Adler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fithel is ranked 58,516^th in the world and 2^nd in The Social Republics of Idias for Highest Average Incomes, with 105,692.09 Standard Monetary Units.
