The Green Regency of Ferrianona is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by This Velvet Glove with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.384 billion Ferrianonans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cithog. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferrianonan economy, worth an astonishing 20,122 trillion Gold Farthings 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is a breathtaking 568,697 Gold Farthings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, gift baskets often contain working nukes, and you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferrianona's national animal is the Nox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deism.

Ferrianona is ranked 13^th in the world and 1^st in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 1,555 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
