The Federal Republic of Farfadillis is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Federal Council with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.66 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Defence, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ferdullaele. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism industries.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, voting is voluntary, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farfadillis's national animal is the Flying Jellyfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is New Catholicism, and its currency is the Feardallis.

Farfadillis is ranked 164th in Atlantian Oceania and 92,670th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 12 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
