The Federation of FEDRA Controlled Cities is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by MajGen Hutchison with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.335 billion FEDRA Citizens 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington DC. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong FEDRA Citizen economy, worth 190 trillion Ration Cards 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. 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 81,407 Ration Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Cremation is compulsory for the deceased, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FEDRA Controlled Cities's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pessimistic Nihilism.

FEDRA Controlled Cities is ranked 258,618^th in the world and 6,252^nd in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 0.89 average smiles per day.
