The Commonwealth of Fading Embers is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 18.226 billion Fading Embersians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 30.2%.

The thriving Fading Embersian economy, worth 885 trillion Coal Shards a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 48,557 Coal Shards, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is moderate. Fading Embers's national animal is the Pyre Demon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fading Embers is ranked 9,347^th in the world and 393^rd in Balder for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 8,998.65 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
