The ImperiaRepublic of Fireian Empire is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Fire The Ist with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 9.251 billion Fireians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fireia. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Fireian economy, worth a remarkable 3,240 trillion Panda d'Ors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 350,321 Panda d'Ors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, small towns have started burning historical buildings in hopes of attracting tourists, and Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fireian Empire's national animal is the Panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fireian Empire is ranked 743^rd in the world and 1^st in Struyria for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,167.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
