The Republic of FNWI-V is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.273 billion FNWI-Vians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.5%.

The very strong FNWI-Vian economy, worth 81.2 trillion Cards a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,751 Cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 231,793 per year while the poor average 12,475, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

High school bands practice by moonlight, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, train stations can be 'armful places, and marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FNWI-V's national animal is the Cards, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

FNWI-V is ranked 119,554^th in the world and 31^st in Federated Nation of Western Islands for Highest Average Incomes, with 63,751.82 Standard Monetary Units.
