The Sandrider of Fedaykin 98 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.791 billion Fedaykin 98ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 58.1%.

The all-consuming Fedaykin 98ian economy, worth 417 trillion Melange Units a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,103 Melange Units, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pro-democracy protesters are shot on sight by state police, there's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality, high school bands practice by moonlight, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 98's national animal is the Maker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fedaykin 98 is ranked 93,139^th in the world and 667^th in Memeland United for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
