The Kingdom of Farqaadia is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 321 million Farqaadians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duloc City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.7%.

The all-consuming Farqaadian economy, worth 31.6 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 98,347 Golds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,730 per year while the poor average 20,822, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

The dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, a government program is underway to revitalize Farqaadia's beaches, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farqaadia's national animal is the Donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Farqaadia is ranked 282,263^rd in the world and 4,168^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 1.04 average smiles per day.
