The Glorious People's Republic of Fondalma is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, parental licensing program, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.582 billion Fondalmen 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Fondalman economy, worth a remarkable 3,005 trillion dong a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,247 dong, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Newspapers are celebrating Leader saving over a million cats from trees, the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms, the air force's greatness is based on how many enemies are made during procurement, and aid workers deliver life-saving supplies with a devious gleam in their eyes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fondalma's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fondalma is ranked 166,321^st in the world and 4^th in Barbaria for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 961.2 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
