The Communist dictatorship of Fardel is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Great Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.764 billion Fardelians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faradel city. The average income tax rate is 97.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Fardelian economy, worth 906 trillion Faradrubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 328,005 Faradrubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, colonial subjects have Fardelian culture shoved down their throats, all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, and wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fardel's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Leader.

Fardel is ranked 6,556^th in the world and 258^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 13,492.14 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
