The Technical Zealots of Ferrill is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Solaire of Astora with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 5.893 billion Ferrillians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferrillian economy, worth a remarkable 1,033 trillion souls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 175,417 souls, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, the internet has been placed under government control, and the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferrill's national animal is the Sunbeam, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sunlight Covenant.

Ferrill is ranked 302,277th in the world and 375th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Secular, with 3.59 Atheism Rate.
