The People's Imperivm of Ferranghia is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Admiral with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.369 billion Ferranghians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UnterFerronia I. The average income tax rate is 9.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ferranghian economy, worth a remarkable 8,540 trillion Ferrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 365,461 Ferrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exterminators swarm Ferranghian homes, the alien invasion siren sounds eerily like a UFO, schoolchildren tunnel out to skip classes, and fair-weather fans talk during plays while die-hard theatre enthusiasts stay at home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ferranghia's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ferranghia is ranked 659th in the world and 8th in Europe for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 115,668.58 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
