The Empire of Crazy Firemen is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Firefighter Clemente with a fair hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 29.958 billion Crazy Firemenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seagrave. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Crazy Firemenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,586 trillion Brotherhoods a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,103 Brotherhoods, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, citizens have to stick a fork into an electrical outlet to get a buzz, and Firefighter Clemente steals from the rich and gives to the needy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crazy Firemen's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of the Rising Phoenix.

Crazy Firemen is ranked 3,555th in the world and 20th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 3,660.70599048 days.
