The Federation of Ferrish States is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Eyu Drachen with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.005 billion Ferrishmen are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Two Peninsulas. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferrish economy, worth a remarkable 2,299 trillion Credits a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,237 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Superfoods are often seen as supervillains, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and interest in globalism never flags. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferrish States's national animal is the Chimera, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ferrish States is ranked 8,170^th in the world and 103^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,512.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
