The Glorious People's Republic of Fondalma is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.76 billion Fondalmen 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Fondalman economy, worth a remarkable 3,078 trillion dong a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,655 dong, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, the ego of former emperors tend to match their stature, minor parties are virtually absent in Parliament, and it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fondalma's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fondalma is ranked 11,268^th in the world and 2^nd in Barbaria for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 32,930.61 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
