The People's Republic of Firikovileya is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 697 million Firikovileyans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telorik. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Firikovileyan economy, worth 54.6 trillion Iloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 78,311 Iloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and kids these days know how to throw a proper punch. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firikovileya's national animal is the Firikovileyan Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Firikovileya is ranked 192,217^th in the world and 751^st in Europeia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,758.16 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
