The Serenìsima Repùblica of Farnhamia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mayor Farn with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.444 billion Farnhamians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government is dominated by the Department of Education, with Environment, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. The average income tax rate is 36.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Farnhamian economy, worth a remarkable 4,968 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,277 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, once-vitriolic celebrity chefs are now known for giving encouraging hugs to aspiring cooks, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, and therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads. Crime is totally unknown. Farnhamia's national animal is the Black Federal Hoverhawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Worship of Mother Bau.

Farnhamia is ranked 125,986^th in the world and 7^th in Zhaucauozian Friendship for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.1 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
