The Federal Kingdom of Faircliff is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by King-Emperor Daniel with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 12.042 billion Faircliffians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willowhurst. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Faircliffian economy, worth a remarkable 1,565 trillion lokpas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,977 lokpas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The transition from trojan horses to regular old horses is on track, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, and hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faircliff's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Faircliff is ranked 6,552^nd in the world and 270^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 93.28 on the Human Development Index.
