The Democratic Republic of Favertos is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 356 million Faverans 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpha Settlement. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Favertosian economy, worth 14.1 trillion favs 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 Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 39,511 favs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Parking's carefree without parking car fees, asking a cutie their star sign is always met with withering scorn, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Favertos's national animal is the Faveran owl.

Favertos is ranked 78,283^rd in the world and 2^nd in Lyssaria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
