The Kingdom of Firlands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Rey De Dioses with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 3.037 billion Firlandsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryusoul. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Firlandsian economy, worth 437 trillion Firgish Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,105 Firgish Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Internet ads promising "hot singles in your area" are even less accurate than they used to be, nose plugs are the latest Firlandsian fashion accessory, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firlands's national animal is the Red Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kiramentality.

Firlands is ranked 198,286^th in the world and 6,618^th in The East Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -8 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
