The Theocracy of Fergistania is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 597 million Fergistanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fergistanian economy, worth 40.0 trillion Fergbucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 66,951 Fergbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Discarded pennies litter the streets, a government program is underway to revitalize Fergistania's beaches, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fergistania's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fergistania is ranked 71,663^rd in the world and 27^th in South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 107.1 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
