The Allied States of Figlandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ancepsinfans with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.978 billion Figs 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bushnell. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Figgish economy, worth 492 trillion Shabbatzes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,923 Shabbatzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Feeling like a winner comes at a price, the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, Ancepsinfans is called 'Patches' at international summits, and economists claim no news is good news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Figlandia's national animal is the Corkadrew, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Figlandia is ranked 40,155^th in the world and 909^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 177.22 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
