The Commonwealth of Fasire is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by gurlz with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.566 billion Fasireans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fasiropolis. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Fasirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,337 trillion pesos 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 85,921 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are forbidden to enter Native Fasirean lands, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, and universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings. Crime is totally unknown. Fasire's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fasire is ranked 7,851^st in the world and 227^th in the South Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,169.45 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
