The Confederation of Fenteu is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Prime President Tomas Tarvo with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, rampant corporate plagiarism, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 7.356 billion Fenteuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basagrad. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Fenteuan economy, worth 554 trillion Fenrics 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 75,343 Fenrics, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, and property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fenteu's national animal is the fenyptian crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Classical-Evangelical Stravinism.

Fenteu is ranked 120,967^th in the world and 406^th in Carcassonne for Highest Drug Use, scoring 137.74 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
