The Nomadic Peoples of Faunace is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning cow population. The democratic population of 281 million Faunaceans 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 juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Faunacean economy, worth 13.3 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,335 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and most academic research has ground to a halt. Crime is well under control. Faunace's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Faunace is ranked 185,398^th in the world and 376^th in Starlight for Highest Average Incomes, with 47,335.82 Standard Monetary Units.
