The Sandrider of Fedaykin 68 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.695 billion Fedaykin 68ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Fedaykin 68ian economy, worth 361 trillion Melange Units a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,897 Melange Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Local mafias have a tough time disposing of dead snitches without catching the attention of recycling authorities, Fedaykin 68's fine wines are renowned throughout the region, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, and freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 68's national animal is the maker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Fedaykin 68 is ranked 145,574th in the world and 68th in Memeland United for Most Stationary, with 178.26958729628 days.
