The Empire of Fengate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 31.083 billion Fengateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 47.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fengatean economy, worth a remarkable 4,483 trillion fens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,255 fens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime is totally unknown. Fengate's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fengate is ranked 142,747^th in the world and 7,662^nd in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -196.47 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
