The Sandrider of Fedaykin 35 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.422 billion Fedaykin 35ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.6%.
The thriving Fedaykin 35ian economy, worth 512 trillion Melange Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,850 Melange Units, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.
The tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading Fedaykin 35ian justice, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 35's national animal is the Maker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Fedaykin 35 is ranked 237,276th in the world and 601st in Memeland United for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 508.4 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
