The Sandrider of Fedaykin 25 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.887 billion Fedaykin 25ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 27.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Fedaykin 25ian economy, worth 148 trillion Melange Units a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,312 Melange Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, and builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 25's national animal is the Maker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
