The Superpower of The Republic of Figs is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Fig Figgleton with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.996 billion Figions 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Figtopia. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Republic of Figsian economy, worth a remarkable 4,526 trillion Fignutens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 205,793 Fignutens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Republic of Figs's national animal is the Figgle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Republic of Figs is ranked 4,488^th in the world and 226^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 119.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
