The DemocraticSocialistRepublic of Fadnesia is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Prime Socialist Frakk with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.416 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 1,648 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 195,933 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, Fadnesia has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned. 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 11,731^st in the world and 31^st in Refugia for Highest Average Incomes, with 195,933.62 Standard Monetary Units.
