The Empire of The Fulands is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 180 million Fiandics 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 Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 12.2%.

The Fiandic economy, worth 10.2 trillion Dins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Average income is 56,913 Dins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Whole-wheat loaves can only be ordered on the dark web, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade, and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. The Fulands's national animal is the Seagull, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

The Fulands is ranked 163,981^st in the world and 472^nd in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 443.64 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
