The Dominion of Friuli is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Tancredo III with an even hand, and renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 24.245 billion Friulians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The large, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Udine. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.4%.

The very strong Friulian economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 52,507 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,406 per year while the poor average 6,182, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, Friuli has designated Udine as its capital city, Tancredo III has just been declared ruler of Friuli in an international press conference, and Roman Catholicism has been named as Friuli's national religion. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Friuli's national animal is the eagle and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Friuli is ranked 103,128^th in the world and 5^th in Italian Regions for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 83.67 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
