The 15 States of Fellon is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mother Nature with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, humorless population of 15.921 billion Fellonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of EastGate. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fellonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,680 trillion Zeches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is an impressive 168,336 Zeches, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Money grows on trees, high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and cleaners are very careful not to bump into the big red button on Mother Nature's desk. Crime is totally unknown. Fellon's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Fellon is ranked 326,278th in the world and 4,174th in The East Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 18.94 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
