The Republic of Farki is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 584 million Farkians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Albí. The average income tax rate is 13.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Farkian economy, worth 61.1 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 104,654 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Young criminals are told they'll go to bed without supper if they do it again, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho). Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Farki's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Farki is ranked 27,453rd in the world and 4th in Perdita for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
