The Rogue Nation of Faack is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 73 million Faackers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.2%.

The strong Faacker economy, worth 4.44 trillion FCKS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,881 FCKS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Faack's national animal is the Coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Faack is ranked 150,158^th in the world and 737^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 440.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
