The United States of Fampia is a small, pleasant nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 23 million Fampians 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 tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.6%.
The strong Fampian economy, worth 1.28 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 55,529 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fampia's national animal is the unicorn.
Fampia is ranked 18,260th in the world and 4th in Arkonos for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 5,015.98 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
