The Technocratic Republic of Featheringhamstan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ethan Hathaway with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.035 billion Orwellianians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City-8. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Orwellian economy, worth 97.2 trillion Orwellians a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,907 Orwellians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, and the highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Featheringhamstan's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Transhumanism.

Featheringhamstan is ranked 191,896^th in the world and 47^th in Corvinia Refounded for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,055.45 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
