The Firelink Shrine Tender of Fire Keeper is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Fire Keeper with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 13.741 billion Fire Keeperians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Firelink Shrine. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fire Keeperian economy, worth a remarkable 1,393 trillion souls a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,439 souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime is totally unknown. Fire Keeper's national animal is the small mushroom, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Violetism.

Fire Keeper is ranked 160,798^th in the world and 1^st in Firelink Shrine for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,247.91 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
