The Protectorate of FPC009 is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.133 billion FPC009ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.1%.

The frighteningly efficient FPC009ian economy, worth 818 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 133,386 francs, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, alcoholism is the newest import from Dàguó, police deploy tear-gas on unruly kindergarteners, and mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. FPC009's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

FPC009 is ranked 283,657^th in the world and 10^th in Golden Acres for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.54 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
