The Federal Republic of Fallgriffin is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Maj Gen Greogory Twilight with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.117 billion Fallgriffinians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South NorthWest East Lawndale. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Fallgriffinian economy, worth a remarkable 9,941 trillion chromium kaegyds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 430,064 chromium kaegyds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and Fallgriffin is suspiciously populated compared to its neighbors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fallgriffin's national animal is the Ferret, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Maj Gen Gregory Twilight warship.

Fallgriffin is ranked 2,522^nd in the world and 48^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 747.46 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
