The Federation of Fireactu is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sir Lemons with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.017 billion Fireactuans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Aurora. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fireactuan economy, worth 168 trillion Strontium-90s a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,472 Strontium-90s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and jollity-related fatalities are on the increase. Crime is totally unknown. Fireactu's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Narcoticism.

Fireactu is ranked 287,711^th in the world and 93^rd in Estalcia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,783.14 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
