The Federal Republic of Fancy Bois is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Oliver Fletcher with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.673 billion Fancy Bois have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous 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 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fancy Boisian economy, worth 101 trillion Fancies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,899 Fancies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Fancy Boisian Space Agency, the nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, and hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fancy Bois is ranked 26,085^th in the world and 69^th in Spiritus for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,925.76 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
