The Federated Military Republic of El Facil is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Field Marshal Jusuchin with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 37.536 billion El Facilians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fortress Iserlohn. The average income tax rate is 1.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient El Facilian economy, worth a remarkable 9,136 trillion Federal Credits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 243,398 Federal Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Skateparks can be found in every city, El Facil is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Facil's national animal is the Thorn Beast, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

El Facil is ranked 4,086^th in the world and 60^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 612.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
