The Republic of Favrisko is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Zach Zackerson with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.407 billion Favriskans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hugoswille. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Favriskoan economy, worth 145 trillion Welkions a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,304 Welkions, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A government program is underway to revitalize Favrisko's beaches, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Favrisko's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Favrisko is ranked 21,593^rd in the world and 540^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 268.15 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
