The Republic of Fachu 28 is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 300 million Fachu 28ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Fachu 28ian economy, worth 12.9 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 Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,102 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, Fachu 28 successfully hosted the Fachu Puppet Storage Olympics, engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, and structures are raised on promises. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fachu 28's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fachu 28 is ranked 3,425^th in the world and 1^st in Fachu Puppet Storage for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 13,260.54 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
