The Republic of Federated Mandate is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Carissa Hayden with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.514 billion Westerners are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thedeona. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Federated Mandatean economy, worth 162 trillion labor credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 107,591 labor credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the revelation that people were sexist in the past is apparently front page news, litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, and transgender and agender are on the education agenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Federated Mandate's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Federated Mandate is ranked 104,435^th in the world and 3,859^th in Balder for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,351.13 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
