The Commonwealth of Fereldens is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.779 billion Fereldensians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Fereldensian economy, worth 69.7 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,711 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fereldens's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fereldens is ranked 179,229^th in the world and 1^st in Carne de Vitello for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 53.9 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
