The Technocratic State of Fererland is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.741 billion Ferers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferer economy, worth a remarkable 1,339 trillion lers a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 233,247 lers, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, hospital administrators can usually be found scrubbing their floors with toothbrushes, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fererland's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fererland is ranked 121,443^rd in the world and 7^th in Ferer Armed Forces for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,124.46 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
