The Empire of FF Rats is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning turtle population. The hard-working population of 662 million FF Ratsians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.4%.

The very strong FF Ratsian economy, worth 39.1 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 59,110 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,571 per year while the poor average 14,998, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. FF Rats's national animal is the turtle.

FF Rats is ranked 216,513^th in the world and 1^st in The Rats for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
