The Empire of Fengate is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor David I with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 39.43 billion Fengateans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Environment, although Education is also considered important, while Social Policy and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fengate City. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fengatean economy, worth a remarkable 5,434 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 137,833 fens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime is totally unknown. Fengate's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fengate is ranked 219^th in the world and 8^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 54,543.77 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
