The Theocracy of Farkine is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.669 billion Farkineans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 80.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Farkinean economy, worth 217 trillion Oboles a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,063 Oboles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, prosecutors accuse General Tso of monopolizing the lunch market, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Farkine with a very polite populace, and calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farkine's national animal is the Cormoran, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Farkine is ranked 13,496^th in the world and 67^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,918.77 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
