The United Federation of Farokand is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Akalovi Nirdosta with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.167 billion Farokandis hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faroi. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Farokandi economy, worth 383 trillion Farokandi kabits 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 Information Technology, Book Publishing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 an impressive 121,088 Farokandi kabits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Farokandi scientists are mixing chewing tobacco with bacon flavouring in an attempt to craft the perfect male snack, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces. Crime is totally unknown. Farokand's national animal is the Farokandi camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Farokand is ranked 122,261st in the world and 7th in Gaule for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
