The Empire of Fidelis 1 is a titanic, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 10.209 billion Fidelis 1ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 18.4%.

The Fidelis 1ian economy, worth 501 trillion Cadrilants a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,101 Cadrilants, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and a National Academy regulates grammar and usage. Crime is moderate. Fidelis 1's national animal is the Crowned Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Fidelis 1 is ranked 234,230^th in the world and 12,559^th in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,450.5 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
