The Old Kingdom of Finium is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Esmereldo Esteban Spessartine with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 34.469 billion Finians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angpern. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Finite economy, worth a remarkable 8,804 trillion Ingots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 255,444 Ingots, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,525,826 per year while the poor average 19,486, a ratio of 78.3 to 1.

People are always able to look each other in the eye, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, you can be fired for dyeing grey hairs, and the army is spending millions cloning khaki-colored dinosaurs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Finium's national animal is the Fae, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ditanery.

Finium is ranked 4,341st in the world and 1st in The Forgotten Lands for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 12,727.02 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
