The Empire of FERRARI UNITED is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by 周恩来 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.12 billion Leclercs are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 62.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong FERRARI UNITEDian economy, worth 86.6 trillion Melanges 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Information Technology, 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 77,286 Melanges, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

周恩来's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, foreign musicians that 周恩来 dislikes are turned away at the border, scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FERRARI UNITED's national animal is the Big Brother, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

FERRARI UNITED is ranked 41,946^th in the world and 389^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,203.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
