The Republic of Festdidgea is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Nirzum Radzidar with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.98 billion Festdidgeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kardin Videgi. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Festdidgean economy, worth a remarkable 1,014 trillion Dong a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 78,133 Dong, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, rumor has it that Nirzum Radzidar has won three lotteries in a row, and the long arm of the law possesses a rather slow hand. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Festdidgea's national animal is the Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is NO RELIGION BABYYYYY.

Festdidgea is ranked 329,687^th in the world and 4,145^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -20.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
