The Democratic States of Fook Esteouix is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.43 billion Fook Esteouixians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Fook Esteouixian economy, worth 240 trillion chronos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 167,892 chronos, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,021,093 per year while the poor average 12,250, a ratio of 83.3 to 1.

The state subsidizes liposuction, the government is pouring billions into replacement brains, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and there's some really clean windows in Fook Esteouixian houses. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fook Esteouix's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fook Esteouix is ranked 75,353^rd in the world and 279^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,038.51 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
