Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Fearless Republic of Faaquizaan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sheik Shaq Al-Faaq with an iron fist, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.639 billion Faaquizaanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Intrepid. The average income tax rate is 9.8%.

The thriving Faaquizaanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,250 trillion faaqs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,133 faaqs, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Tensions between the young and old have risen to record levels, school uniforms are compulsory, rumor has it that the government was paid off by the mob to allow casinos to reopen, and citizens often glare angrily at jet contrails. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Faaquizaan's national animal is the shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Violetism.

Faaquizaan is ranked 282,752^nd in the world and 11^th in Out Of Left Field for Safest, scoring 6.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
