The Ringbearer of Fargoth is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 1.681 billion Fargothians, 1.6 billion of whom are zombies, are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Fargothian economy, worth 181 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 33,764 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fargoth's national animal is the tiger.

Fargoth is ranked 33,641^st in the world and 5^th in House Boucher for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 920.57 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
