The Sandrider of Fedaykin 56 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, prohibition of alcohol, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.379 billion Fedaykin 56ians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.9%.

The all-consuming Fedaykin 56ian economy, worth 704 trillion Melange Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 110,373 Melange Units, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 374,188 per year while the poor average 24,039, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

Pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, black tea is only available on the black market, elections have recently been reintroduced to Fedaykin 56, and the 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 56's national animal is the maker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fedaykin 56 is ranked 78,078^th in the world and 403^rd in Memeland United for Largest Governments, scoring 18.6 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
