The Federal Republic of Furdikistam is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The democratic population of 69 million Furdikistamians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 15.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Furdikistamian economy, worth 3.05 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,165 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Onions have been banned due to their tendency to cause eye irritation, the entire entry for Furdikistam in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, and a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Furdikistam's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Furdikistam is ranked 107,531^st in the world and 571^st in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,844.44 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
