The Republic of Firleon is a massive, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.01 billion Firleonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Firleonian economy, worth 230 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,549 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Firleonians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations, and citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Firleon's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Firleon is ranked 22,249^th in the world and 706^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 941.78 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
