The Kingdom of Fiachlain is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 335 million Fiachians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fiachish economy, worth 26.2 trillion Peadras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 78,275 Peadras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sex changes are routinely performed at Fiachlain's hospitals, the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, late night talk show hosts are having a field day over Leader's questionably sane new coalition partners, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fiachlain's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fiachlain is ranked 78,491^st in the world and 226^th in Carcassonne for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,341.58 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
