The Republic of FNWI-XV is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.005 billion FNWI-XVians 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, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 39.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient FNWI-XVian economy, worth 42.3 trillion Cards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 42,138 Cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, the dance skills of Leader are said to be almost as subversive as their politics, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, and war is made in the name of love. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. FNWI-XV's national animal is the Cards, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

FNWI-XV is ranked 59,479^th in the world and 26^th in Federated Nation of Western Islands for Largest Black Market, with 9.80 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
