The Incorporated States of Farkarkay is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its digital currency, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.226 billion Farkarkayians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Farkarkayian economy, worth 588 trillion Latinums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,633 Latinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, every week is blindness awareness week, it takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farkarkay's national animal is the Black Widow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Farkarkay is ranked 264,400th in the world and 9,336th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -207.92 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
