The Republic of False is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The devout population of 717 million Falseans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Falsean economy, worth 22.4 trillion Gold Coins a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,307 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, and fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. False's national animal is the Zombie, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

False is ranked 103,152nd in the world and 3rd in Galactic Empire of Sween for Most Beautiful Environments, with 561.37 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
