The Oppressed Peoples of Fthia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.212 billion Fthians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 5.8%.

The strong Fthian economy, worth 325 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 62,374 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fthia's national animal is the myrmeke, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fthia is ranked 123,975^th in the world and 64^th in Forest for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.81 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
