The Republic of Ferris Wheel is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.667 billion Ferris Wheelians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Round Round Town. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ferris Wheelian economy, worth 563 trillion Spinny Round Round Dollars 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 120,722 Spinny Round Round Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of Spinny Round Round Dollars are spent to take high-quality photos of the Ferris Wheel Animal Things Nebula, Ferris Wheel Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", and a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Ferris Wheelian as 'your finger, you fool'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferris Wheel's national animal is the Ferris Wheel Animal Things, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ferris Wheel is ranked 288,010^th in the world and 497^th in The Funian Puppet Region for Most Secular, with 9.07 Atheism Rate.
