The Federation of Failed Politicians is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 25.644 billion Failed Politicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Failed Politiciansian economy, worth a remarkable 2,498 trillion guineas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 97,417 guineas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Jails have become colloquially known as 'vampire houses', the welfare administration’s new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, the flesh-eating lost souls that wander at night serve as a major tourist attraction (Failed Politicians has found 1 easter eggs), and reports of arsonism have doubled since the introduction of a privatised fire protection service. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Failed Politicians's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Failed Politicians is ranked 96,545^th in the world and 12^th in The Lexicon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 14.11 kickbacks per hour.
