The Benevolent Kingdom of Fendlium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Paul II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.763 billion Fendlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Invercauld. The average income tax rate is 85.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fendlian economy, worth 840 trillion Fendlian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,508 Fendlian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fendlium's national animal is the Wild Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fendlicanism.

Fendlium is ranked 31,510^th in the world and 1,429^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,706.1 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
