The United States of Ferinionque is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Mark I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 2.096 billion Ferinionqueans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turtleopolis. The average income tax rate is 36.6%.

The strong Ferinionquean economy, worth 155 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,044 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Aspiring musicians couldn't give away their music if they tried, charity fundraisers often resemble minstrel shows, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferinionque's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Ferinionque is ranked 72,260th in the world and 717th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
