The Federation of Fireactu is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sir Lemons with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.068 billion Fireactuans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Aurora. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Fireactuan economy, worth 175 trillion Strontium-90s a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,045 Strontium-90s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The musical cognoscenti insist the national anthem just isn't the same without a double contrabass flute, third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals, and artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings. Crime is totally unknown. Fireactu's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Narcoticism.

Fireactu is ranked 15,258^th in the world and 9^th in Estalcia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,163.05 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
