The Sandrider of Fedaykin 79 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its vat-grown people, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.519 billion Fedaykin 79ians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.
The thriving Fedaykin 79ian economy, worth 528 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 81,065 Melange Units, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 302,554 per year while the poor average 15,225, a ratio of 19.9 to 1.
Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, funding for education has been redirected into the military, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 79's national animal is the Maker, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Fedaykin 79 is ranked 299,296th in the world and 348th in Memeland United for Nicest Citizens, with 1.08 average smiles per day.
