The Disputed Territories of Fniakkin is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 590 million Fniakkinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fniakkinian economy, worth 16.8 trillion gruvas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 28,503 gruvas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals, and the government forces Fniakkinians to eat their vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fniakkin's national animal is the crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Fniakkin is ranked 196,236^th in the world and 296^th in Starlight for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,608.33 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
