The Médousa of Faralried is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sun King with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.357 billion Faralriedians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Democritus. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Faralriedian economy, worth 192 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,326 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Faralriedians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, the love has gone in Faralried, and the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faralried's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Faral Yodleism.
Faralried is ranked 155,251st in the world and 172nd in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Influential, scoring 254 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
