The Empire of TheFireNation is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 349 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 Education, Administration, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.3%.

The powerhouse TheFireNationian economy, worth 33.8 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 96,761 golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 331,399 per year while the poor average 20,753, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, TheFireNationians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and TheFireNation has designated TheFireNation City as its capital city. 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 52,785^th in the world and 43^rd in Benigtopia for Nicest Citizens, with 17.36 average smiles per day.
