The Confederation of FENRIS318 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Stalin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.489 billion number1imontopoftheworldans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of weretheones. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming FENRIS318ian economy, worth 156 trillion Miloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 104,804 Miloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, politicians look weirdly alike, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and getting an abortion takes less hassle than writing a letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FENRIS318's national animal is the Impala, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

FENRIS318 is ranked 35,412^th in the world and 56^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,099.42 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
