The Kingdom of Firestorm 99 is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Luminance with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 24.195 billion Creators are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Creator Castle. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant royal economy, worth 379 trillion gems a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 15,699 gems, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use The Creator Castle as a backdrop, conspiracy theorists allege The Creator Castle's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firestorm 99's national animal is the Hydari, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Firestorm 99 is ranked 225,007^th in the world and 5^th in The Geometrix for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,120.61 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
