The Republic of Fairchild is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning Warthog population. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.877 billion Fairchildians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The thriving Fairchildian economy, worth 247 trillion Thunderbolts a year, is dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,721 Thunderbolts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,539 per year while the poor average 10,346, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Fairchild's national animal is the Warthog.

Fairchild is ranked 226,974^th in the world and 3^rd in US Military for Most Patriotic, with 6.32 flags saluted per person per day.
