Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Farkitrol is a massive, devout nation, notable for its burgeoning squirrel population. Its hard-nosed population of 3.432 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government is effectively ruled by the Department of Religion & Spirituality, with areas such as Defence and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 27%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Information Technology industries.

Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Farkitrol's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the beer nugget.

Farkitrol is ranked 1st in Farktopia and 65,965th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
