The Commonwealth of Fasire is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by gurlz with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.316 billion Fasireans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fasiropolis. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Fasirean economy, worth 752 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is 72,976 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Supervisors in Fasire commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, anti-government web sites are springing up, the carbon tax fund gladly supplies warm blankets when the poor can't pay their heating bills, and a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fasire's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fasire is ranked 31,850^th in the world and 741^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
