The Colony of Farmea1 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.761 billion Farmea1ians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Farmea1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,187 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,031 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens are arrested for naturally producing proteins, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farmea1's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Farmea1 is ranked 165,404th in the world and 6,892nd in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,141.87 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
