The People's Imperivm of Ferranghia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Admiral with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.323 billion Ferranghians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of UnterFerronia I. The average income tax rate is 40.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ferranghian economy, worth a remarkable 7,163 trillion Ferrs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 390,944 Ferrs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trains and passengers alike are often late, Crow sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, the government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, and the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ferranghia's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ferranghia is ranked 2,216^th in the world and 29^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 8,046.78 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
