The Grand Duchy of Fareria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Altner with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.447 billion Farerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamburg. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Farerian economy, worth 215 trillion kronor 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,625 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever, and the judicial branch is strongly influenced by the Communist Party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fareria's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Saocism.

Fareria is ranked 30,576^th in the world and 376^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 82.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
