The Republic of The FDA is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 56 million FDAians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped FDAian economy, worth 1.91 trillion lolas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,050 lolas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The FDA's national animal is the T Rex penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The FDA is ranked 175,715^th in the world and 500^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,443.83 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
