The sizeable but inefficient Fachu 55ian economy, worth 6.91 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,264 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Fachu 55's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
