The Kingdom of Farqaadia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 167 million Farqaadians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.1%.

The all-consuming Farqaadian economy, worth 14.9 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is 89,393 Golds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 349,734 per year while the poor average 15,566, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Farqaadia Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', Farqaadia City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farqaadia's national animal is the Donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Farqaadia is ranked 150,363rd in the world and 2,678th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,015.21 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
