The Holy Purple of Fazea is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Millicent Bystander with a fair hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, anti-smoking policies, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.31 billion Fazeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fazean economy, worth 140 trillion Flips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 106,634 Flips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is Europeia's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters, nude art is becoming wildly popular, the government funds large training centres to turn Bats into functioning members of society, and every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead. Crime is totally unknown. Fazea's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Fazea is ranked 14,087^th in the world and 44^th in Europeia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 6,231.94 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
