The Incorporated States of Faroq is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dictator Lumar Honrar with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, prohibition of alcohol, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.926 billion Faroqians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ganista. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Faroqian economy, worth 414 trillion Golds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 141,677 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist, diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', and fire and brimstone sermons are accompanied by napalm and fragmentation bombs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faroq's national animal is the Whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lumarism.
Faroq is ranked 149,971st in the world and 6,145th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 2.93 billion capita.
