The Sandrider of Fedaykin 18 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.468 billion Fedaykin 18ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Fedaykin 18ian economy, worth 736 trillion Melange Units a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,806 Melange Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Fedaykin 18ian beaches, and drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fedaykin 18's national animal is the Maker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fedaykin 18 is ranked 70,602^nd in the world and 125^th in Memeland United for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
