The Green Regency of Ferrianona is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by This Velvet Glove with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The compassionate, cheerful population of 30.236 billion Ferrianonans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cithog. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferrianonan economy, worth an astonishing 15,262 trillion Gold Farthings 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is a breathtaking 504,773 Gold Farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, all the playground's a stage for Ferrianonan schoolchildren, being This Velvet Glove has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and trains and passengers alike are often late. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferrianona's national animal is the Nox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deism.

Ferrianona is ranked 11^th in the world and 1^st in Laissez Faireholm for Lowest Crime Rates, with 427.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
