The People's Republic of Feranta is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Great brother with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.234 billion Ferantans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kern. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ferantan economy, worth 97.6 trillion Ferns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Retail. Average income is 79,131 Ferns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one Feranta" at foreigners, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Feranta, and "The Pride of the Ferantan Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Feranta's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Feranta is ranked 19,853^rd in the world and 1,019^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
