The Kingdom of Fetra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by His Majesty Andrew VI with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.102 billion Fetrans 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 Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nicia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 88.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Fetran economy, worth a remarkable 4,485 trillion Fetran crowns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 342,352 Fetran crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 977,384 per year while the poor average 95,570, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.
The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fetra's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Andreism.
Fetra is ranked 2,143rd in the world and 1st in Atkalat for Most Corrupt Governments, with 338.97 kickbacks per hour.
