The Empire of Fengate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor David I with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 38.165 billion Fengateans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, although Education is also considered important, while Social Policy and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fengate City. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fengatean economy, worth a remarkable 5,338 trillion fens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,872 fens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime is totally unknown. Fengate's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fengate is ranked 219,472^nd in the world and 10,174^th in The North Pacific for Rudest Citizens, with 5.16 Insults Per Minute.
