The District of CFMARS is a gargantuan, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 12.453 billion CFMARSians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant CFMARSian economy, worth 136 trillion betales 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 10,932 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CFMARS's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CFMARS is ranked 62,956^th in the world and 1^st in The Northern Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
