The Kingdom of Ferreism is a large, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 106 million Ferreists 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education and Law & Order are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 40.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ferreismian economy, worth 6.24 trillion Kriegsmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,838 Kriegsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Ferreism City to enjoy their national art, the nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and imprisonment is the leading cause of disownment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferreism's national animal is the Prussian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ferreism is ranked 158,282^nd in the world and 2,036^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 821.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
