The Kingdom of Faither is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Gabriel I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.294 billion Faitherians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torshead. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Faitherian economy, worth 556 trillion Faits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,156 Faits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Corrupt paupers spend taxpayer Faits on liquor and tobacco, there's no escape from the rule of law... or police brutality, the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low, and grandiose stage parents insist superyachts and private cinemas are children's basic needs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faither's national animal is the Wasp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Anchor Church.

Faither is ranked 15,361^st in the world and 860^th in Balder for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
