The Dominion of Fararud is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 456 million Fararudians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Fararudian economy, worth 9.57 trillion dinars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 20,989 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fararud's national animal is the lion.

Fararud is ranked 268,066^th in the world and 1^st in The Sasanian Frontier for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.32 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
