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

The Emergency Government of Ferwerter Hegebeintum is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vice Secretary Harmen Friesia with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.791 billion New-Ferwerters are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Defense, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ferwert. The average income tax rate is 92.4%.

The frighteningly efficient New-Ferwerter economy, worth 267 trillion stahitmaos 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 Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 149,556 stahitmaos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Frat-house partying has become the national pastime, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', school uniforms are compulsory, and citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferwerter Hegebeintum's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Controlist Ideology.

Ferwerter Hegebeintum is ranked 11,923^rd in the world and 26^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,860.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
