The Empire of Fengate is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 46.079 billion Fengateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, although Education is also considered important, while Social Policy and Administration receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fengate City. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fengatean economy, worth a remarkable 6,400 trillion fens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,910 fens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime is totally unknown. Fengate's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fengate is ranked 291,662^nd in the world and 6,361^st in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -34.03 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
