The Powerhouse State of Fdryden is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Carla Higgins with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 12.713 billion Fdrydenians 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burford. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Fdrydenian economy, worth a remarkable 7,225 trillion Cactis 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, 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 a breathtaking 568,347 Cactis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, guns don't kill people — heroes do, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", and military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods. Crime is totally unknown. Fdryden's national animal is the Walleye, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fdryden is ranked 96,142nd in the world and 10th in Union of Democrats for Most Stationary, with 467.03450665328 days.
