The Empire of Fidelis 49 is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning Crowned Eagle population. The hard-working population of 4.56 billion Fidelis 49ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.4%.

The Fidelis 49ian economy, worth 239 trillion Cadrilants a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is 52,615 Cadrilants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fidelis 49's national animal is the Crowned Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Fidelis 49 is ranked 112,889^th in the world and 1,051^st in Artificial Solar System for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
