The Theocracy of Fide Solae is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.352 billion Fide Solaeans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Fide Solaean economy, worth 92.6 trillion pieceses of silver a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 68,466 pieceses of silver, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 334,336 per year while the poor average 8,061, a ratio of 41.5 to 1.

In coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Fide Solae's new capital, murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts, and party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fide Solae's national animal is the Heath Hen, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Fide Solae is ranked 104,587^th in the world and 51^st in Union of Christian Nations for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
