The Bash of Fash is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 9.004 billion Fashians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Fashian economy, worth 82.2 trillion rubledollars 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 Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. 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 9,130 rubledollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fash's national animal is the hawk.

Fash is ranked 312,770^th in the world and 1^st in Sina for Highest Drug Use, scoring 10.28 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
