The Protectorate of Figuerroa is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.052 billion Figuerroans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 35.3%.

The strong Figuerroan economy, worth 452 trillion marcs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. Average income is 45,061 marcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Figuerroa's national animal is the eagle.

Figuerroa is ranked 248,421^st in the world and 24^th in Teremara for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -9.49 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
