The Dictatorship of Fawari is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 490 million Fawarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cygni. The average income tax rate is 44.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Fawarian economy, worth 46.2 trillion Cogwheels a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,374 Cogwheels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Apprentice builders get teased for wearing hard hats, Leader's new android secretary is the latest media darling, the newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to Fawari" on tails, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fawari's national animal is the Cygnus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fawari is ranked 47,726^th in the world and 943^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,721.02 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
