The People's Republic of Firikovileya is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 794 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 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Firikovileyan economy, worth 66.8 trillion Iloes 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 84,070 Iloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Telorik Firikovileyan Foxes against long odds. 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 26,539^th in the world and 263^rd in Europeia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,820.91 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
