The TV Total of Ficken is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dolphin population. The hard-working population of 17.045 billion Fickenians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.0%.

The Fickenian economy, worth 807 trillion lire a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 47,380 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Ficken's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Ficken is ranked 138,784^th in the world and 2^nd in Playboy for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
