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

The Republic of Ferrumetlapis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Presidential King Saturday with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.029 billion Ferrumetlapisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Yokohama. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ferrumetlapisian economy, worth 443 trillion Lapis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,414 Lapis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan, signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, tourists are forbidden to enter Native Ferrumetlapisian lands, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferrumetlapis's national animal is the White Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church.

Ferrumetlapis is ranked 62,399^th in the world and 1,167^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,701.1 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
