The Holy Empire of Facadas is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by God Emperor Majima with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, infamous sell-swords, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.125 billion Facadasians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shank City. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Facadasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,696 trillion Majima coins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 amazing 454,995 Majima coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, old cars must undergo mandatory sensitivity training, Facadas is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Facadas's national animal is the snake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Stabbism.

Facadas is ranked 590^th in the world and 5^th in The Alliance of Dictators for Highest Poor Incomes, with 345,584.96 Standard Monetary Units.
