The Republic of Firhaz is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Governor Jehangir Amzad Hossain with an even hand, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 8.496 billion Firhazians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiranz. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Firhazian economy, worth 801 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 94,360 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fat-shaming is now public policy, foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Kiranz Panthers against long odds, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Firhaz's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Firhaz is ranked 294,375^th in the world and 14^th in Osagh for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.83 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
