The Federal Republic of Fireonyship is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and daily referendums. The hard-working, democratic population of 525 million Fireonyshipians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The strong Fireonyshipian economy, worth 35.1 trillion Monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 66,924 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Wealthy students ride to school past mendicant dropouts, parents are really careful to pick the right gun for their kids' birthdays, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and only adults may purchase violent video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Fireonyship's national animal is the Bird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Fireonyship is ranked 15,380^th in the world and 9^th in Empire of Great Britain for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,358.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
