The Most Gilt Republic of Fhaengshia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Consul Ahliero with a fair hand, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 10.175 billion Fhaengshians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fhaendhaw. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Fhaengshian economy, worth a remarkable 3,894 trillion Szchequinns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 382,780 Szchequinns, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,684,279 per year while the poor average 18,662, a ratio of 143 to 1.

Children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, bedknobs and broomsticks are often seen flying through the air, exports are stamped with "made by the invisible hand you commies", and airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Fhaengshia's national animal is the Wyvern Bat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shih.

Fhaengshia is ranked 336,649^th in the world and 3,661^st in the West Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 3.06 cheeks turned per day.
