The Kingdom of Ferrolith is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 12 million Ferrolithians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Ferrolithian economy, worth 339 billion Thorns 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, 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 28,322 Thorns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is proudly free of crabs, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Leader, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferrolith's national animal is the Hedgehog.

Ferrolith is ranked 297,764^th in the world and 8^th in Gamenight for Most Influential, scoring 12 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
