The Republic of Fachu 52 is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 200 million Fachu 52ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Fachu 52ian economy, worth 6.90 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,508 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have taken to prying guns out of the cold fingers of Fachu 52ians, Leader's Dreadnought-class tankbuster limousine is said to have more ammunition than the entire Brancalandian Army, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fachu 52's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fachu 52 is ranked 3,974^th in the world and 2^nd in Fachu Puppet Storage for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 12,579.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
