The Hallowed Paragon of The Finno-Estonian Empire is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Johannes Mannerheim with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.77 billion Empiricals enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Empirical economy, worth a remarkable 1,880 trillion markkaa a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 214,469 markkaa, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Johannes Mannerheim's throne. Crime is totally unknown. The Finno-Estonian Empire's national animal is the grey wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Pantheon of Eight.

The Finno-Estonian Empire is ranked 14,565^th in the world and 20^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,328.7 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
