The Federal Republic of New-Ferytland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Federal President Ernst Ekehard with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 5.104 billion Ferytlandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rotterdar. The average income tax rate is 7.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New-Ferytlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,029 trillion Florens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,612 Florens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, and pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New-Ferytland's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodoxie.

New-Ferytland is ranked 8,408^th in the world and 405^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 444.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
