The Commonwealth of Felpolandia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Felps with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 19.05 billion Felpolandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felpolandia City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Felpolandian economy, worth a remarkable 6,124 trillion Quicksilvers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 321,489 Quicksilvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A video of Felps wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best. Crime is totally unknown. Felpolandia's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is state atheism.

Felpolandia is ranked 1,710^th in the world and 82^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 852.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
