The Commonwealth of Ferristia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Mo Spinoza with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.059 billion Ferristians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Archigo City. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The all-consuming Ferristian economy, worth 694 trillion Millipenses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 114,563 Millipenses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, the Ferristian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferristia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ferristia is ranked 191,712th in the world and 3,368th in the South Pacific for Most Average, scoring 33.64 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
