The Empire of Faen is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jarl Drakr with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.616 billion Faenira are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Domus Aeterna. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Faenir economy, worth 385 trillion Maches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,643 Maches, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prisoners can't do number twos without their "toilet buddy" present, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faen's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Norse Paganism.

Faen is ranked 22,836^th in the world and 162^nd in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 44.4 flags saluted per person per day.
