The Republic of Faudon is a huge, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 763 million Faudonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exerton. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Faudonian economy, worth 48.1 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,019 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Only adults may purchase violent video games, the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faudon's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Faudon is ranked 151,346^th in the world and 5,531^st in the Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,221.69 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
