The Eternal Darkness Lair of FAWDALRD is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sphinxhunter-Arc with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.883 billion Fawdalrdi 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 prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Bones and Blood. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.3%.

The powerhouse Fawdalrdi economy, worth 511 trillion Counterfeit Rubies a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 104,775 Counterfeit Rubies, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Any has been named as FAWDALRD's national religion, many politicians carry out their morning ablutions in public restrooms, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, and unruly families are deliberately marooned on desert islands. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. FAWDALRD's national animal is the Havoc Beast, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Any.

FAWDALRD is ranked 179,523^rd in the world and 1^st in FLAMES OF CHAOS for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.86 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
