The Crazy Birds of Ferinalia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Skipper with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 46.378 billion Ferinalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Madagascar. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ferinalian economy, worth a remarkable 4,021 trillion fishies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,704 fishies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, and posh restaurants scatter glass fragments on the dining room floor to keep out barefoot undesirables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferinalia's national animal is the loony lemur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is penguinism.

Ferinalia is ranked 52,985^th in the world and 10^th in Dragon Lair for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 174.55 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
