The Free Land of Ferreira is a huge, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 415 million Ferreirans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Viscera. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The Ferreiran economy, worth 24.6 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,162 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Abattoirs are struggling with the directive to 'wait until the animal dies of a ripe old age', Ferreirans are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime is almost non-existent. Ferreira's national animal is the hello kitty, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ferreira is ranked 247,077^th in the world and 3,951^st in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.74 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
