The Democratic Republic of Fed Old is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 137 million Fed Oldians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Fed Oldian economy, worth 2.82 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,601 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists pester asteroids with probes until they go away, a century of peace does not preclude peace negotiations, minor code style errors dull the house edge, and judges are all-powerful. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fed Old's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Fed Old is ranked 303,583^rd in the world and 200^th in Benigtopia for Highest Average Incomes, with 20,601.78 Standard Monetary Units.
