The Federal Peoples Commonwealth of Ferrumia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Premier Christian Williams with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 3.762 billion Ferrumians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sabaton City. The average income tax rate is 65.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Ferrumian economy, worth 368 trillion Crimsons 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. 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 97,942 Crimsons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens worry more about a split end than their deceased parent, all recreational drugs are legal, left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime is totally unknown. Ferrumia's national animal is the Proletariat Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Communist Jesus.

Ferrumia is ranked 113,243^rd in the world and 1,171^st in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
