The Republic of Fasilika is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kishimoto Akihiko with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 3.641 billion Fasilikans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Furuyako. The average income tax rate is 50.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fasilikan economy, worth 395 trillion Fasilikan Yans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,591 Fasilikan Yans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, and agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fasilika's national animal is the Peafowl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shinto.

Fasilika is ranked 22,439^th in the world and 536^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 262.66 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
