The Republic of Fawnoculous is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.894 billion Fawnoculousians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Fawnoculousian economy, worth 400 trillion Kalps a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,927 Kalps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fawnoculous's national animal is the Connaced, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fawnoculous is ranked 42,924th in the world and 124th in The Funian Puppet Region for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 57,426.62 Standard Monetary Units.
