The Federal People's Republic of Fadnesia is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Socialist Frakk with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.504 billion Faddies enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brod'cester. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Fadnesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,679 trillion planets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 197,464 planets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The image of Fadnesia's future is just a picture from last century, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. Crime is totally unknown. Fadnesia's national animal is the Smurgelbuff, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hemmulism.

Fadnesia is ranked 2,393^rd in the world and 23^rd in Refugia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 98.31 Effective Tax Rate.
