The Glorious Empire of Ferengi Alliance Union is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Nagus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.171 billion Ferengi are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fernginar. The average income tax rate is 94.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ferengi economy, worth an astonishing 10,931 trillion Gold Pressed Latinums a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is a breathtaking 675,968 Gold Pressed Latinums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,235,843 per year while the poor average 7,308, a ratio of 853 to 1.

Migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, and the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ferengi Alliance Union's national animal is the Latinum Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Divine Treasury.

Ferengi Alliance Union is ranked 144^th in the world and 1^st in Shadow Realms for Fattest Citizens, with 97.01 Obesity Rate.
