The 15 States of Fellon is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mother Nature with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 9.6 billion Fellonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EastGate. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fellonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,498 trillion Zeches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 156,041 Zeches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Mother Nature to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime is totally unknown. Fellon's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Fellon is ranked 26,303^rd in the world and 1,338^th in The East Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 73.99 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
