The Imperial Federation of Faulott is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Williams I with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 16.175 billion Faulottas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aulicia. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Faulotti economy, worth a remarkable 4,026 trillion fritzmarks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 248,923 fritzmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

SOS from foreign ships mean "shoot on sight", worship days have replaced sick days, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faulott's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Faulott is ranked 180,051^st in the world and 62^nd in Saint Osmund for Largest Black Market, with 690 billion Standard Monetary Units.
