The Allied States of Far Fribaathea is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.091 billion Far Fribaatheans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yaco. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Far Fribaathean economy, worth 107 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,921 florins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 399,468 per year while the poor average 16,350, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, people are often woken up by rubbish music, airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Far Fribaathea's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Far Fribaathea is ranked 58,708^th in the world and 1,119^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,342.03 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
