The Faithful Gathering of Filbustan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Filbus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 4.672 billion Filbus Acolytes are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Filbus City. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Filbustanian economy, worth 683 trillion chairs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,263 chairs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hell is not always other people, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and skateboarding is considered a form of diplomacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Filbustan's national animal is the bee, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Filbism.

Filbustan is ranked 6,032nd in the world and 255th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 93.55 on the Human Development Index.
