The Dominion of Fararud is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 950 million Fararudians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fararudian economy, worth 19.9 trillion dinars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,989 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fararud's national animal is the lion.

Fararud is ranked 284,757^th in the world and 1^st in The Sasanian Frontier for Highest Drug Use, scoring 27.11 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
