The Republic of FNWI-XCVI is a mid-sized, orderly nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, absence of drug laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical population of 99 million FNWI-XCVIians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The relatively small, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 15.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped FNWI-XCVIian economy, worth 3.46 trillion 4th Edition Trench Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,941 4th Edition Trench Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime is relatively low. FNWI-XCVI's national animal is the Black Spotted Tabby Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

FNWI-XCVI is ranked 210,186^th in the world and 75^th in Federated Nation of Western Islands for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 125.47 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
