The Allied States of Finkaar is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.777 billion Finkaarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 78.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Finkaarian economy, worth 190 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,184 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, there is a law against "filthy foreign food", people across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs, and one can walk from one side of Finkaar City to the other without setting foot on Finkaarian soil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Finkaar's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Finkaar is ranked 189,172^nd in the world and 662^nd in Concord for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,124.46 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
