The Republic of Festdidgea is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nirzum Radescu with a fair hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.798 billion Festdidgeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kardin Videgi. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Festdidgean economy, worth 569 trillion Dong a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,038 Dong, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Festdidgea's national animal is the Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is NO RELIGION BABYYYYY.

Festdidgea is ranked 256,106^th in the world and 12,221^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -128.67 on the Hayek Index.
