The Sandrider of Fedaykin 42 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.418 billion Fedaykin 42ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Fedaykin 42ian economy, worth 450 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. 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 70,202 Melange Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities are suffering under water rationing, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Fedaykin 42's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Fedaykin 42's national animal is the Maker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fedaykin 42 is ranked 131,941^st in the world and 474^th in Memeland United for Largest Governments, scoring 14.25 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
