The Republic of Fairoy is a mid-sized, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 56 million Fairoyians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The thriving Fairoyian economy, worth 4.02 trillion Sayrian Sayrees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 71,754 Sayrian Sayrees, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 253,987 per year while the poor average 14,636, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Harry Potter books are banned, military spending recently hit a new high, and being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Leader's credibility no favours. Crime is moderate. Fairoy's national animal is the Pelican, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Fairoy is ranked 255,566^th in the world and 30^th in Kryndel for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -8 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
