The Republic of FNIX is a tiny, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10 million FNIX are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.5%.

The very strong FNIX economy, worth 613 billion Oils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 61,305 Oils, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,412 per year while the poor average 11,386, a ratio of 20.2 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. FNIX's national animal is the Wolfe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

FNIX is ranked 258,931^st in the world and 64^th in Mauravia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
