The People's Republic of Fizula is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 796 million Fizulans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glughbourgh. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Fizulan economy, worth 59.4 trillion Fizuls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 74,634 Fizuls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, research grant proposals read like political diatribes, religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged, and prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fizula's national animal is the Giant Marine Isopod, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fizula is ranked 242,140^th in the world and 1,591^st in The Communist Bloc for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -14 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
