The Republic of Fayon is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 176 million Fayonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.9%.

The Fayonian economy, worth 8.40 trillion florins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,752 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Fayon's national animal is the parrot.

Fayon is ranked 161,240^th in the world and 12^th in Despotic Magnates of the Cognoscenti for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,519.69 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
