The Fantastic Field Marshal of Ever-Wandering Souls is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, free-roaming dinosaurs, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14.205 billion Survivors are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanctuary. The average income tax rate is 85.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming a Survivor economy, worth a remarkable 1,725 trillion Tales 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 121,459 Tales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, vanity is considered the fifth cardinal virtue, and artists are pillars of society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ever-Wandering Souls's national animal is the Mongrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ever-Wandering Souls is ranked 99,528^th in the world and 277^th in The Black Hawks for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 901.9 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
