The Federation of Fasticia is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 331 million Fasticians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
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 Evilia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.1%.
The very strong Fastician economy, worth 24.2 trillion Crowbars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,222 Crowbars, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.
Major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, education is transforming people into first-rate snobs, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, and radiation is a hot topic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fasticia's national animal is the Ashtray Worm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Fasticia is ranked 291,366th in the world and 9th in Methanium for Nicest Citizens, with 0.51 average smiles per day.
