The Empire of Faen is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jarl Drakr with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.563 billion Faenira are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Domus Aeterna. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Faenir economy, worth 387 trillion Maches a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,860 Maches, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

High school career advisors advise belligerent loners to consider vigilantism, the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, fistfighting vigilantes tend to suffer a lot of gunshot wounds, and late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Faen's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Norse Paganism.

Faen is ranked 15,583^rd in the world and 303^rd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,204.92 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
