The Incorporated States of Ferkholt is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 290 million Ferkholtians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferkholtian economy, worth 30.7 trillion Exchange Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 105,950 Exchange Credits, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Artists are pillars of society, comatose jurors are the defense's favorite, bounty hunters have been dispatched to hunt down rogue bounty hunters, and posing for pictures is an integral part of military training. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Ferkholt's national animal is the Ice Leviathan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ferkholt is ranked 149,666^th in the world and 36^th in womp for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,513.61 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
