The Ringbearer of Fargoth is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 5.298 billion Fargothians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Fargothian economy, worth 179 trillion lire 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 Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 33,764 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fargoth's national animal is the tiger.

Fargoth is ranked 242,215^th in the world and 231^st in House Boucher for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 836.88 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
