The Empire of TheFireNation is a large, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 154 million TheFireNationians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.6%.

The thriving TheFireNationian economy, worth 11.9 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 77,339 golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 268,954 per year while the poor average 16,208, a ratio of 16.6 to 1.

Builders across TheFireNation are blocked up with orders for new public loos, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and naughty children receive photovoltaic cells for the holidays. Crime is totally unknown. TheFireNation's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

TheFireNation is ranked 135,856^th in the world and 91^st in Benigtopia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 78.96 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
