The Disputed Territories of Feryam is a small, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 45 million Feryamians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.1%.

The strong Feryamian economy, worth 2.66 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 59,018 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, surveillance cameras are banned, and there's nothing more Feryamian than revanchism. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Feryam's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Feryam is ranked 97,547^th in the world and 339^th in Starlight for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 44.83 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
