The Iron Fist Oceanic Republic of Comfed is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 697 million Comfedians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Okatarin. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Comfedian economy, worth 49.0 trillion wandas 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 large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 70,359 wandas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who question what bunker construction has to do with economic reform tend to disappear, a citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, produce labels read 'may contain traces of food', and strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Comfed's national animal is the mantis shrimp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Comfed is ranked 197,603^rd in the world and 8,679^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.75 Crimes Per Hour.
