The Faithful Gathering of Filbustan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Filbus with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.662 billion Filbus Acolytes are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Filbus City. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Filbustanian economy, worth 681 trillion chairs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,263 chairs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hell is not always other people, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Filbustan's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Filbism.

Filbustan is ranked 105,747th in the world and 1,304th in The North Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,553.86 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
