The Federal Republic of Federalania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pres Ozwald Zamacois with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.216 billion Federalanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poteston. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Federalanian economy, worth 387 trillion Federal Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 120,551 Federal Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the Poteston Hawks' triumph against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federalania's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Federalania is ranked 140,414^th in the world and 5,261^st in The North Pacific for Most Authoritarian, with 608.27 milliStalins.
