The Republic of Fersania is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 746 million Fersanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of something. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Fersanian economy, worth 42.2 trillion Tokens a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,562 Tokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fersania's national animal is the Headcrab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fersania is ranked 152,515^th in the world and 228^th in Chicken overlords for Most Patriotic, with 8.85 flags saluted per person per day.
