The Republic of Fachu 36 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, democratic population of 342 million Fachu 36ians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.

The sizeable but inefficient Fachu 36ian economy, worth 17.6 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 51,330 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 164,701 per year while the poor average 12,130, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

The terminally ill are applying for visas from their bed, dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia, universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette, and barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Fachu 36 City Natural History Museum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fachu 36's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
