The United States of Fildea is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Michael Günther with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.794 billion Fildians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newbein. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fildean economy, worth 358 trillion Fildian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 128,415 Fildian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Michael Günther reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, and maps of the enemy's positions are often covered in blood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fildea's national animal is the Fildian Giant Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Fildian Evangelism.

Fildea is ranked 167,324^th in the world and 3,770^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
