The Republic of Ferrit is a titanic, cultured nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.501 billion Ferritians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mewni. The average income tax rate is 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferritian economy, worth a remarkable 2,629 trillion Fes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 150,243 Fes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime is totally unknown. Ferrit's national animal is the Madird Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Ferrit is ranked 23,172^nd in the world and 120^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Populations, with 17.5 billion capita.
