The Fiefdom of Farthythumfienn is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Grandmaster Fusus Farthsidious II with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 2.777 billion Farts 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiennthumburgh. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Farthythumfiennian economy, worth 356 trillion Fart Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,461 Fart Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farthythumfienn's national animal is the Fart Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Thumbistarf.

Farthythumfienn is ranked 206,155^th in the world and 8,249^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 39.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
