The Life Lessons of FatherRuledWorld is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Padre with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.017 billion Fathers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Camaguey. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rulian economy, worth 334 trillion Pesos a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,005 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Young people never forget their first roommate — no matter how much counselling they have, failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, and many are questioning Padre wearing an Eckie-Ecola baseball cap during a keynote speech. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. FatherRuledWorld's national animal is the Perro, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

FatherRuledWorld is ranked 247,602nd in the world and 97th in Liberal Democratic Union for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 45.7 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
