The Colony of Farmea14 is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, soft-spoken computers, and national health service. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 7.705 billion Farmea14ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Farmea14ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,080 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 140,273 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farmea14's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Farmea14 is ranked 198,257th in the world and 4,979th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 49.52612802548 days.
