The Socialist Federal Republic of Fonisera is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Indafono Sifien with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.338 billion Foniserans, 3.941 billion of whom are zombies, are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kurono. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Foniseran economy, worth a remarkable 2,892 trillion Hekisas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, 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 an amazing 427,861 Hekisas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Catching an old friend by surprise on the street can be a shocking experience, Foniserans are unrivalled in obstacle courses, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Fonisera's national animal is the Owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Fonisera is ranked 114,362^nd in the world and 68^th in Far East Oriental Federation for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 221.37 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
