The Commonwealth of Fusco is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Albertsen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.17 billion Fuscoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Silverstone. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fuscoan economy, worth 915 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,713 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fusco's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fusco is ranked 6,924^th in the world and 310^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 15,865.92 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
