The Republic of Fire Hydrant is a mammoth, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning beaver population. The hard-working population of 6.306 billion Fire Hydrantians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 12.3%.

The Fire Hydrantian economy, worth 324 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 51,424 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fire Hydrant's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Fire Hydrant is ranked 89,422^nd in the world and 2^nd in Paperwork for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 45,098.94 Standard Monetary Units.
