The Democratic Republic of Favertos is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 208 million Faverans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Favertosian economy, worth 5.62 trillion favs 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 27,007 favs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, military chiefs are predicting extra funding in this year's budget, the government is known to care more about its buildings than its people, and the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Favertos's national animal is the Faveran owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Favertos is ranked 297,072^nd in the world and 5^th in Lyssaria for Highest Average Incomes, with 27,007.02 Standard Monetary Units.
