The Federal Republic of Fancy Bois is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 451 million Fancy Bois are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Un-London. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Fancy Boisian economy, worth 14.9 trillion Fancies a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,065 Fancies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, the old neighbourhood isn't how most Fancy Bois remember it, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Un-London. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fancy Bois's national animal is the Armadillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fancy Bois is ranked 93,353^rd in the world and 98^th in Spiritus for Most Primitive, scoring -42.07 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
