The Pays Äthée of Fiah is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maurice Hä with an even hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 4.157 billion Fians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Padlei. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fian economy, worth 726 trillion platins 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 impressive 174,843 platins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, prison is a nightmare, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, and the government has heavily invested in badly drawn monkeys. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fiah's national animal is the jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Fiah is ranked 253,263^rd in the world and 33^rd in Antarctica for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 44.79 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
