The Most Gilt Republic of Fhaengshia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Consul Ahliero with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 8.614 billion Fhaengshians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fhaendhaw. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Fhaengshian economy, worth a remarkable 3,262 trillion Szchequinns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 378,738 Szchequinns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,667,113 per year while the poor average 18,214, a ratio of 146 to 1.

Private clinics eagerly advertise their trivial specialties, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, Consul Ahliero is famed for giving great back rubs, and many marriages go virtually unconsummated. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Fhaengshia's national animal is the Wyvern Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shih.

Fhaengshia is ranked 21,014th in the world and 289th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,846.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
