The DemocraticSocialistRepublic of Fadnesia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Socialist Frakk with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.451 billion Faddies enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brod'cester. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fadnesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,659 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 196,391 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy plans patrols according to how many pubs nearby ports have, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, posters on 'Fadnesian Values' advise against being proud of Fadnesia, and holidaymakers sleep curled up on the floor as hotel beds are replaced with oversized bookcases. Crime is totally unknown. Fadnesia's national animal is the Smurgelbuff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hemmulism.

Fadnesia is ranked 326,005^th in the world and 213^th in Refugia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.02 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
