The Free Land of Festaria is a small, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 20 million Festarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 51.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Festarian economy, worth 412 billion stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 20,633 stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers practice disarming active shooters before naptime, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Festaria's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Festaria is ranked 42,818th in the world and 686th in The Communist Bloc for Most Secular, with 30.52 Atheism Rate.
