The Festival of Fauns is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 11.154 billion half human–half goats 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, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Enchanted Woods. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant half human–half goat economy, worth 186 trillion Whims 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 Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 16,759 Whims, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is legal, voting is voluntary, military funding has been stripped back, and Fauns has designated Enchanted Woods as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fauns's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fauns is ranked 287,062^nd in the world and 1^st in Rainforest for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,840.24 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
