The Federal Republic of Falthonia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, soft-spoken computers, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 549 million Falthonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falthonus City. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Falthonian economy, worth 53.8 trillion Faths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 98,040 Faths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions of Faths are spent to take high-quality photos of the Eagle Nebula, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, and recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Falthonia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Falthonia is ranked 40,010^th in the world and 1,264^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,459.12 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
