The Powerhouse State of Fdryden is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Carla Higgins with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.658 billion Fdrydenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burford. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Fdrydenian economy, worth a remarkable 7,178 trillion Cactis 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 a breathtaking 567,083 Cactis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, much of Fdryden's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and Carla Higgins's personal home is one of Union of Democrats's most notorious party destinations. Crime is totally unknown. Fdryden's national animal is the Walleye, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fdryden is ranked 2,698th in the world and 1st in Union of Democrats for Most Cultured, scoring 228 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
