The Greater People's Empire of The Controlist Ferwerter Union is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Chairman Jotsad Stahitmao with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, soft-spoken computers, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.148 billion Ferwerters 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferwert. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferwerter economy, worth 471 trillion stahitmaos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an amazing 219,501 stahitmaos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, corrective labour camps either end political dissent or kill the dissenters, and the police think a properly conducted criminal investigation is a real pain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Controlist Ferwerter Union's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Controlism Ideology.

The Controlist Ferwerter Union is ranked 195,803^rd in the world and 49^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Highest Drug Use, scoring 35.2 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
