The Serenìsima Repùblica of Farnhamia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mayor Farn with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, cheerful population of 26.931 billion Farnhamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Environment, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New York. The average income tax rate is 64.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Farnhamian economy, worth a remarkable 5,667 trillion Dollars 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 mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 210,450 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. 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 131,666^th in the world and 3^rd in Zhaucauozian Friendship for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -52.99 on the Hayek Index.
