The Republic of Fetary is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.93 billion Fetaryians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Fetaryian economy, worth 82.9 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,965 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Fetaryians, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fetary's national animal is the slite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fetary is ranked 242,678^th in the world and 12,643^rd in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.26 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
