The Kingdom of Fakhal is a massive, pleasant nation, ruled by Regent Anizhij Veronoy with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.273 billion Fakhalians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izir. The average income tax rate is 28.8%.

The strong Fakhalian economy, worth 200 trillion Fakhalian Crowns a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 46,875 Fakhalian Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, newspapers cannot report anything about politicians without their explicit consent, and pushy mums tell their kids to be doctors and engineers but steer them away from being penniless lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fakhal's national animal is the horse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zhost Jatenj.

Fakhal is ranked 148,351^st in the world and 76^th in Equiterra for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
