The Verboten of Thibor Ferenczy is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Father Ferenczy with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.89 billion Ferenczyians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Romesalem. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferenczyian economy, worth a remarkable 9,456 trillion silver coins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Furniture Restoration. 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 a breathtaking 528,583 silver coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anyone dissenting from the state ideology is declared "mentally ill" and whisked away in a straitjacket, it is mandatory for actors to exit stage left, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thibor Ferenczy's national animal is the griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Krislimish.

Thibor Ferenczy is ranked 207th in the world and 2nd in Psychotic Dictatorships for Most Patriotic, with 170.36 flags saluted per person per day.
