“Oh no!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Crazy Republic of Ferd is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 7.395 billion Ferdians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pale City. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ferdian economy, worth a remarkable 1,306 trillion nones 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 black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. 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 an impressive 176,664 nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, you can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Ferd but at least the trains run on time, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferd's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ferd is ranked 11,144^th in the world and 1^st in Anqeneng for Lowest Crime Rates, with 99.07 law-abiding acts per hour.
