The Crazy Republic of Ferd is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 8.786 billion Ferdians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pale City. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ferdian economy, worth a remarkable 1,535 trillion nones 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 an impressive 174,732 nones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, small children are frequently chased by rehabilitated pitbulls, and they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferd's national animal is the unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ferd is ranked 90,716th in the world and 1st in Anqeneng for Safest, scoring 87.82 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
