The Empire of Ferrolterra is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 12 million Ferrolterrans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Ferrolterran economy, worth 453 billion Negros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 37,783 Negros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', Ferrolterra is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and elections have been outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferrolterra's national animal is the Halcón, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ferrolterra is ranked 116,570^th in the world and 602^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,431.64 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
