The Free Land of Fivia Ethippen is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 7.104 billion Fivia Ethippenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute, corrupt, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Fivia Ethippenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,723 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Soda Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 242,610 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', the new Fivia Ethippenian-made OS is buggier and more inconvenient than a horse-drawn carriage, locally produced computer games are being released faster than gamers can play them, and royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fivia Ethippen's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fivia Ethippen is ranked 288^th in the world and 7^th in Balder for Fattest Citizens, with 90.73 Obesity Rate.
