The Empire of Fengate is a behemoth, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor David I with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 51.253 billion Fengateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, with Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fengate City. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fengatean economy, worth a remarkable 7,358 trillion fens a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,574 fens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, a common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", and Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts. Crime is totally unknown. Fengate's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fengate is ranked 331,820^th in the world and 4,738^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -36.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
