The Godless Republic of Fairbur is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Chancellor Samuel with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.578 billion SJWs enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Samopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Fairburian economy, worth a remarkable 3,654 trillion Djoungoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 207,903 Djoungoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", and it's been a banner year for local vexillology. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fairbur's national animal is the Pepe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fairbur is ranked 2,068th in the world and 2nd in Regionless for Most Beautiful Environments, with 3,620.09 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
