The Federation of The Feld is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, strictly enforced bedtime, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 481 million Feld are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortress Long. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Feld economy, worth 45.7 trillion Rounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 95,036 Rounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 861,006 per year while the poor average 1,236, a ratio of 696 to 1.

A shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, love is a precious butterfly to be crushed under diplomatic protocol, and where your food came from is an unknowable mystery. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. The Feld's national animal is the Gophall, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Feld is ranked 249,821^st in the world and 9,708^th in The East Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -20 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
