The Jingoistic States of Fidex is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 22.168 billion Fidexians 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 prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Fidexian economy, worth 210 trillion Fixes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 9,477 Fixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates have hit a new low, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fidex's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fidex is ranked 109,154th in the world and 4th in Glitch for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
