The Kingdom of Feradia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Imperator Ferdinandus with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.78 billion Feradians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sturmstadt. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Feradian economy, worth a remarkable 2,177 trillion imperial feradis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 170,388 imperial feradis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Tonitrosaurus imperatorball fields. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Feradia's national animal is the Tonitrosaurus imperator, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Asgardian.

Feradia is ranked 248,663rd in the world and 4th in Realms of Skudalith for Most Armed, with 0.19 weapons per person.
