The Fenno-Ugrian Front of Finntown is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Aslak Susi with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 36.904 billion Fenno-Ugrians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Finntown. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Fenno-Ugrian economy, worth a remarkable 8,059 trillion Tuohis a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 218,393 Tuohis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, the government airlifts sacrificial lambs, and stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Finntown's national animal is the Stoat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fennicism.

Finntown is ranked 130th in the world and 1st in Nordic Lands for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 20,355.42 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
