Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United States of Feynland America is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Buckminster Feynberg with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.53 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

President Buckminster Feynberg has just been declared ruler of Feynland America in an international press conference, Hedgehog is one of the most popular forenames in Feynland America, movies and computer games are strictly censored for violence, and elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates. Crime is well under control. Feynland America's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the quatloo.

Feynland America is ranked 3rd in New England and 14,126th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
