The Land of Failure of FENS MudSnail is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Captain Mudd with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, disturbing lack of elderly people, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.656 billion FENS MudSnailians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Atlantis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.6%.

The frighteningly efficient FENS MudSnailian economy, worth 998 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,426 rupees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 340,291 per year while the poor average 23,555, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

Unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, the government would rather execute a hundred innocent men than let one guilty one appeal a verdict, bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, and racehorses move a lot slower these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FENS MudSnail's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Orthodox Mudsnailism.

FENS MudSnail is ranked 125,372^nd in the world and 160^th in The Regected Realns for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
