The Conservative Liberals of Fashie is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Erik with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 10.266 billion Fashieans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Newton. The average income tax rate is 84.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fashiean economy, worth a remarkable 1,516 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,724 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Fashie, judicial torture is outsourced overseas, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, and at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Erik's wardrobe. Crime is totally unknown. Fashie's national animal is the Cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Fashie is ranked 62,817^th in the world and 1^st in CECR Revised for Most Pro-Market, scoring 51.22 on the Rand Index.
