The DemocraticSocialistRepublic of Fadnesia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Prime Socialist Frakk with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.39 billion Faddies enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brod'cester. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fadnesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,638 trillion planets 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 195,315 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say that Faddies made a dessert and called it peace, Prime Socialist Frakk's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and Prime Socialist Frakk's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. Crime is totally unknown. Fadnesia's national animal is the Smurgelbuff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hemmulism.

Fadnesia is ranked 2,250^th in the world and 15^th in Refugia for Most Cultured, scoring 251 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
