The Sandrider of Fedaykin 7 is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.418 billion Fedaykin 7ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.3%.
The thriving Fedaykin 7ian economy, worth 550 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, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 85,715 Melange Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
The latest electric jet fighter has almost enough battery charge to reach cruising altitude -- provided you don't use the radar, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, and thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 7's national animal is the Maker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Fedaykin 7 is ranked 96,323rd in the world and 445th in Memeland United for Most Conservative, scoring 69 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
