The JRPG of Final Fantasy 10 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Moogle with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.822 billion Final Fantasy 10ians 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 Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Square. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Final Fantasy 10ian economy, worth 964 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 109,297 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 403,235 per year while the poor average 20,904, a ratio of 19.3 to 1.

A typical peasant's life cycle leads from birth to the gallows, boys are shocked by the revolutionary lesson that women are actually human, weathermen are being arrested for attempting to read the future, and Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Final Fantasy 10's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Crystals.

Final Fantasy 10 is ranked 320,631^st in the world and 37^th in Square Enix for Nicest Citizens, with 0.4 average smiles per day.
