The DemocraticSocialistRepublic of Fadnesia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Socialist Frakk with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.397 billion Faddies enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brod'cester. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fadnesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,641 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 195,480 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime Socialist Frakk's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, tax revenue is often intercepted by international accountants before ever seeing the national treasury, and the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks. Crime is totally unknown. Fadnesia's national animal is the Smurgelbuff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hemmulism.

Fadnesia is ranked 299,646^th in the world and 182^nd in Refugia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
