The Sacred Undead Violet of Faurexus is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tree with an iron fist, and remarkable for its fear of technology, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.261 billion Faurexi 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, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greenpeace. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Faurex economy, worth 332 trillion ornaments a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 78,049 ornaments, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, hammer and sickle-wielding space marines are such stuff that dreams are made on, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, and democratic debates have been removed from the government. Crime is totally unknown. Faurexus's national animal is the skeleton cattle pony, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Faurexus is ranked 291,846th in the world and 336th in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -22.52 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
