The Celestial City of Fastbuck is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Mayor Palairon with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 19.913 billion Fastbuckians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fastbuck. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Fastbuckian economy, worth a remarkable 3,563 trillion pies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 178,958 pies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 923,313 per year while the poor average 18,894, a ratio of 48.9 to 1.

Red text rains down on the head of anyone who dares to step out of line (Fastbuck has found 2 easter eggs), one can walk from one side of Fastbuck to the other without setting foot on Fastbuckian soil, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fastbuck's national animal is the cattle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Reformed Church of Spode.
