The State of Faith Shrine is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.658 billion Faith Shrineans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Welfare, although Spirituality, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 62.1%.

The Faith Shrinean economy, worth 629 trillion betales a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Pizza Delivery industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 29,087 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, military funding has been stripped back, and Faith Shrine has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faith Shrine's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Faith Shrine is ranked 176,232^nd in the world and 1^st in Holy City for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.76 law-abiding acts per hour.
