The Republic of Fever-MDL is a mid-sized, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working population of 67 million Fever-MDLians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Fever-MDLian economy, worth 3.33 trillion 808s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 49,681 808s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fever-MDL's national animal is the rapper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fever-MDL is ranked 168,934^th in the world and 28^th in Cole World for Highest Average Incomes, with 49,681.32 Standard Monetary Units.
