The Hungry Freaks Brigade of Faeries is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Fairy Queen with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 22.389 billion Faeries are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elphame. The average income tax rate is 81.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Faerie economy, worth 180 trillion Gingerbread Cakes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 8,046 Gingerbread Cakes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, national parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', nude art is becoming wildly popular, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faeries's national animal is the Toad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is nature worship.

Faeries is ranked 174,554^th in the world and 1^st in Akumal for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 399.86 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
