The Confederacy of Fargit is a very large, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 118 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass -- is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Healthcare and Education are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Beef-Based Agriculture.
The study of medicine is popular throughout Fargit, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, psychological disorders are a taboo subject, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Fargit's national animal is the dog and its currency is the reserve note.
Fargit is ranked 8th in the region and 107,311th in the world for Most Corrupt Governments.
