The Commonwealth of Fasire is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by gurlz with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 15.547 billion Fasireans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fasiropolis. The average income tax rate is 89.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Fasirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 85,921 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are forbidden to enter Native Fasirean lands, the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again, and universities spend millions cultivating ivy on their buildings. Crime is totally unknown. Fasire's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fasire is ranked 320,890^th in the world and 4,002^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
