The United Provinces of Fenwick is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Drexell Davion with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 37.816 billion Fenwickians 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Avalon. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fenwickian economy, worth a remarkable 5,599 trillion Atoms a year, is highly specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,063 Atoms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fenwick's national animal is the Spotted Dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Fenwick is ranked 280,032^nd in the world and 4^th in Lavinaria for Safest, scoring 6.66 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
