Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Most Serene Republic of Farnhamia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Mayor with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 10.452 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although the Environment and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. The average income tax rate is 51%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, Farnhamia's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farnhamia's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the dollar.

Farnhamia is ranked 1st in Grand Central and 630th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 131 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
