The Republic of Fire Islands is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 8.937 billion Firese enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Fire Islandsian economy, worth 353 trillion Firese Dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,576 Firese Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All recreational drugs are legal, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, extreme political groups are outlawed, and it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fire Islands's national animal is the Doge, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fire Islands is ranked 233,426^th in the world and 4,269^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -5.37 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
