The Greater People's Empire of The Controlist Ferwerter Union is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Chairman Jotsad Stahitmao with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.067 billion 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, 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 99.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Ferwerter economy, worth a remarkable 1,606 trillion stahitmaos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 264,856 stahitmaos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. 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 for the New Era.
The Controlist Ferwerter Union is ranked 292,520th in the world and 46th in The Alliance of Dictators for Nicest Citizens, with 0.14 average smiles per day.
