All Of My Days Have Been Misspent
The Republic of Fargahar is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning pug population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 81 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass -- juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 44%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery industries.
the space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, sex changes are routinely performed at Fargahar's hospitals, and pugs have more rights than the average citizen. Crime is relatively low. Fargahar's national animal is the pug, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the neo.
