The United Socialist Democracy of Fyrelund is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Solumndo Apçal with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.609 billion Fyrelundis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Math bõFyr. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fyrelundian economy, worth a remarkable 1,804 trillion çaptes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 132,572 çaptes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, election officials are delivered in 30 minutes or money back, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime is totally unknown. Fyrelund's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fyrelund is ranked 287,852^nd in the world and 10,775^th in Osiris for Fattest Citizens, with 5.78 Obesity Rate.
