The Colony of Farfarout Planetoid is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.86 billion Farfarout Planetoidians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 2018 AG37 Base. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The powerhouse Farfarout Planetoidian economy, worth 664 trillion Tellurium Ingots a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 84,502 Tellurium Ingots, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,537 per year while the poor average 17,376, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

Government bureaucrats devote many man-hours to trying to measure unquantifiables, the government is spending billions of Tellurium Ingots on a fancy space probe to find a planet that may not even exist, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of 2018 AG37 Base. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Farfarout Planetoid's national animal is the Face Mite, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Farfarout Planetoid is ranked 73,132^nd in the world and 13^th in Regionless for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 131.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
