The Disputed Territories of Farnoto is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.634 billion Farnotoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Farnotoan economy, worth 186 trillion florins 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 a large, well-organized black market in Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 114,116 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, people are careful to avoid hyperbolising that they'd "rather die" than support Leader, only the wealthy vote, and X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farnoto's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Farnoto is ranked 218,663^rd in the world and 121^st in Communitas for Largest Populations, with 1.63 billion capita.
