The New Chapter of El Fiji Grande is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Oliver Phillips with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 19.119 billion Fijians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiji City. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fijian economy, worth a remarkable 4,195 trillion Chunks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,466 Chunks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, in government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants, and it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. El Fiji Grande's national animal is the Dodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

El Fiji Grande is ranked 3,914^th in the world and 6^th in Taijitu for Smartest Citizens, with 140.95 quips per hour.
