The Republic of Fay- is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 7.846 billion Fay-ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Fay-ian economy, worth 478 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,869 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, billions of dollars are being poured into a space program, and citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fay-'s national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Fay- is ranked 52,959^th in the world and 9^th in Dimmersun for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.77 percentage of bribes refused.
