The Skuldalith Kingdom of Feradia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Ferdinandus with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.957 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 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Feradian economy, worth a remarkable 3,000 trillion imperial runes 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 frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,957 imperial runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, the bureaucratic class continues to multiply, and the government is proudly free of crabs. 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 10,134^th in the world and 1^st in Empire of Allgarthr for Smartest Citizens, with 94.54 quips per hour.
