The Democratic Republic of Fifeton is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 968 million Fifetonians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terranova City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Fifetonian economy, worth 107 trillion Nites a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 110,696 Nites, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 558,210 per year while the poor average 12,238, a ratio of 45.6 to 1.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fifeton's national animal is the Red-Tailed Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fifeton is ranked 5,154^th in the world and 3^rd in Independent Order for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 11,491.57 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
