The Empire of Fengate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 47.319 billion Fengateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, with Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Administration are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fengate City. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fengatean economy, worth a remarkable 6,553 trillion fens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,503 fens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, there's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, solving crossword puzzles requires fluency in at least five languages, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime is totally unknown. Fengate's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fengate is ranked 29,907^th in the world and 826^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 138,503.42 Standard Monetary Units.
