The Most Gilt Republic of Fhaengshia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Consul Ahliero with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.908 billion Fhaengshians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fhaendhaw. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Fhaengshian economy, worth a remarkable 1,620 trillion Szchequinns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 330,129 Szchequinns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,295,806 per year while the poor average 16,533, a ratio of 138 to 1.

The number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Fhaengshia's national animal is the Wyvern Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shih.

Fhaengshia is ranked 199,597^th in the world and 6,153^rd in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 16,533.85 Standard Monetary Units.
