The Empire of Fengate is a behemoth, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 51.198 billion Fengateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, although Education is also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fengate City. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fengatean economy, worth a remarkable 7,347 trillion fens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,520 fens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, aspiring pilots must be personally vetted by the Minister of Transportation before receiving their license, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and in musicals everybody's a little bit racist. Crime is totally unknown. Fengate's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fengate is ranked 310,701^st in the world and 4,709^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -30.79 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
