The Commonwealth of Ferristia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Mo Spinoza with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.785 billion Ferristians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archigo City. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Ferristian economy, worth 519 trillion Millipenses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 108,613 Millipenses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferristia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Ferristia is ranked 110,714th in the world and 1,603rd in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 356.89079936752 days.
