The Felasia's Order of Denarian Knight is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by King of Felasia with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.243 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Healthcare and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meciel. The average income tax rate is 38%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, notable individuals are granted land and titles, most governmental positions are filled by zealous nationalists, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Denarian Knight's national animal is the Demon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Church of Felasia, and its currency is the Denari Coin.

Denarian Knight is ranked 4,139th in The North Pacific and 88,508th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
