The Imperial Republic of Farlandiay is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grand Chancellor Cent with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 17.261 billion Templars are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Insillian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 53.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Farlandiayian economy, worth a remarkable 2,440 trillion Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 141,365 Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Colonials are offended to find a local animal has been re-named the 'Furry Four-Legged Marsupial Tree', students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, and Farlandiayian companies generally just fire employees in lieu of giving them vacation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farlandiay's national animal is the Tree, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Estroism.

Farlandiay is ranked 23,696^th in the world and 1^st in ravana for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.87 law-abiding acts per hour.
