The State of Febuary is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.505 billion Febuaryians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Febuaryian economy, worth 78.9 trillion betales 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, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. 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 4,509 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, the term "Native Febuaryian" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Febuary's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Febuary is ranked 98,823rd in the world and 7th in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic for Safest, scoring 83.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
