The Republic of Faid is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 734 million Faidians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Faidian economy, worth 67.5 trillion Faidan Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,955 Faidan Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It turns out that money can buy you happiness, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, board shorts have replaced board rooms, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faid's national animal is the Eastern Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Faid is ranked 93,008^th in the world and 3,050^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 866.67 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
