The Republic of Fersania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by somebody cool right with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and national health service. The compassionate population of 2.187 billion Fersanians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of something. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fersanian economy, worth 163 trillion Tokens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,944 Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, and school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fersania's national animal is the Headcrab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Fersania is ranked 318,798^th in the world and 1,231^st in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.58 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
