The Federation of Fine Fiber is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 715 million Fine Fiberians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fine Fiberian economy, worth 17.0 trillion fibers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 23,758 fibers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, military spending recently hit a new high, organ donation is compulsory, and Fiber plant sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fine Fiber's national animal is the fiber plant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fine Fiber is ranked 157,750^th in the world and 2^nd in Democratic Bloc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 62.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
