The Frequency Modulation of Fm is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.183 billion Fmians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Fmian economy, worth a remarkable 4,503 trillion Fms a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,780 Fms, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

It is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, domestic fishermen fly the Fmian flag out of fear of being blown up, all facts are created equal, and the state-controlled media salutes those about to spy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fm's national animal is the Fm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fm is ranked 4,622nd in the world and 1st in Nunavut for Largest Black Market, with 1,992 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
