The Theocracy of Fragile is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.304 billion Fragileans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Fragilean economy, worth a remarkable 2,438 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Soda Sales, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 333,857 Euros, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,627,655 per year while the poor average 10,519, a ratio of 249 to 1.

A citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, celebrity foodies are biting a huge chunk out of the government budget, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-Euro charge on their phone bill, and citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling". Crime is almost non-existent. Fragile's national animal is the Zebra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fragile is ranked 147,699th in the world and 11th in Poetry for Most Stationary, with 172.03552878608 days.
