The Social-Techno Republic of Factoro is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Representative Corac with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.789 billion Factoroans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The frighteningly efficient Factoroan economy, worth 246 trillion Solis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,983 Solis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, and census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Factoro's national animal is the octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
