The Faithful Gathering of Filbustan is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Filbus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cynical population of 886 million Filbus Acolytes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Filbus City. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Filbustanian economy, worth 55.8 trillion chairs a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,996 chairs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, it is often said that only Filbus could bring down Dàguó, and war memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Filbustan's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Filbustan is ranked 294,241^st in the world and 5,330^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
