The Nomadic Peoples of Fergusons is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 742 million Fergusonsians 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fergusonsian economy, worth 15.2 trillion crystal shells a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 20,550 crystal shells, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has started a campaign to crack down on road rage and encourage alternate means of commuting, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fergusons's national animal is the doe, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fergusons is ranked 90,981^st in the world and 36^th in Fallen Nations for Smartest Citizens, with 37.89 quips per hour.
