The Commonwealth of Felpolandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Felps with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.698 billion Felpolandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felpolandia City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Felpolandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,520 trillion Quicksilvers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 307,583 Quicksilvers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime is totally unknown. Felpolandia's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is state atheism.

Felpolandia is ranked 269,180^th in the world and 13,966^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 1.31 crimes per hour.
