The People's Republic of Fernomia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dorian Salter with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.393 billion Fernomians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arvenia. The average income tax rate is 53.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fernomian economy, worth 99.7 trillion Lira Fernomianas 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 black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 71,575 Lira Fernomianas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All facts are created equal, retirement apartments house giggling grannies who delightedly watch blank TVs all day long, elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, and citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?". Crime is totally unknown. Fernomia's national animal is the Pavone, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is secular nation.

Fernomia is ranked 230,954^th in the world and 498^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
