The Republic of FNWI-IX is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.115 billion FNWI-IXians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 64.8%.

The strong FNWI-IXian economy, worth 61.9 trillion Cards a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,527 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes, the education system has gotten a recent boost in spending, libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, and doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FNWI-IX's national animal is the Cards, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

FNWI-IX is ranked 54,180^th in the world and 12^th in Federated Nation of Western Islands for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,037.45 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
