The United States of Fildea is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Michael Günther with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.724 billion Fildians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newbein. The average income tax rate is 59.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Fildean economy, worth 354 trillion Fildian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 130,028 Fildian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, it turns out that money can buy you happiness, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and enemy agents often find themselves caught in a bind. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fildea's national animal is the Fildian Giant Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Fildian Evangelism.

Fildea is ranked 32,762^nd in the world and 1,065^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,030.84 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
