The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.754 billion Fire Keeperians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The frighteningly efficient Fire Keeperian economy, worth a remarkable 1,395 trillion souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing.
