The Republic of Farist Codnersirscor is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.228 billion Farist Codnersirscorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Farist Codnersirscorian economy, worth a remarkable 2,174 trillion florins a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,815 florins, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, wait staff claim to like it when odorous customers flirt with them, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, and cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farist Codnersirscor's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Farist Codnersirscor is ranked 283,143^rd in the world and 4,911^th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 21.16 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
