The Fiefdom of Farthythumfienn is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grandmaster Fusus Farthsidious II with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed population of 2.69 billion Farts have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fiennthumburgh. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Farthythumfiennian economy, worth 346 trillion Fart Bucks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,692 Fart Bucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, after every storm there's an expensive government-funded rainbow, and the nation's green cities are indeed concrete jungles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farthythumfienn's national animal is the Fart Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Thumbistarf.

Farthythumfienn is ranked 258,602^nd in the world and 9,030^th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.89 average smiles per day.
