The Federal People's Republic of Fadnesia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Socialist Frakk with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.62 billion Faddies are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

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 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Fadnesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,708 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 198,174 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, prisons in Fadnesia are the summer homes of murderers, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and Fadnesian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests. 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 973^rd in the world and 16^th in Refugia for Nicest Citizens, with 91.22 average smiles per day.
