The Tribal Lands of Farfel is a massive, devout nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate population of 1.494 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Religion & Spirituality, and Defence. A robust private sector is dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Farfel's national animal is the chimpanzee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the saucy jack.

Government
Farfel is ruled by a leader the people call "sakima" who, by their courageous exploits, wisdom, or other abilities and qualities, win the respect and support of followers , who vote them in. Once voted in the sakima serves for life and can never be removed unless he breaks a law, is in a bad health way, or he proves himself not able to lead anymore. The sakima gives advise rather than orders; a council of leading men, (of which the sakima is head of) make decisions. the sakima can, though, refuse an issue and everyone votes whether to pass it or pitch it. They have a complicated system of laws. If one is broken, the council votes to abolish the lawbreaker from Farfel or imprison them. The jails are indoors, with holes in the ground that have cage covers over them.
History
Farfel
The Tribal Lands of Farfel has had a rich, yet turbulent past. The people originated about two to three hundred years ago. Their name, "Pokunt" (meaning "unseen people")was given to them by their neighbors because of the stealthy attacks they carry out. Most of their early history was spent fighting their bitter enemies, the Minesetpri, or in english "those who deficate under the bank". Much of the fighting is relatively unknown until 1874, when a leader named Farfel (1850-1943), along with the Pokunt council, deciced to firmly establish themselves by finally making a nation. The council decided to name it after their brave leader, but he refused until the wole pokunt people voted yes. After this occured, the Minesetpri began to fight more fiercely to weaken the Pokunt and "takeover". At Dawn on march 13, 1882 the Pokunt attacked the Minesetpri's village near the Percus river. The fighting lasted four days, then the Minesetpri's army was completely wiped out. The Pokunt losing a nearly devistating amount of 1,728 troops.
The Death Of Farfel And The Beginning Leadership of Saucy JackSaucy Jack
In august, 1943 Farfel, at the feeble age of 83, began to get ill. After thinking hard about it, he decided to step down as sakima and let someone else takeover. The council chose one of the most prominent men of the bunch. An intelligent, yet self-entered man named Saucy Jack (1920-2004). Farfel died three days later. In the winter of his first year as sakima, Saucy Jack saw that the self providing econimy was not working. He devised a plan to set up markets and create a currency that he subsequently named after himself. After getting it approved by the council it immediately came into action. Markets were set up everywhere, giving lots of people jobs. The only downfall of the new econimy was the people who had no money. So Saucy Jack began to have shelters built for people to live in until they could get jobs and support themselves.
The War With Mars University
Saucy Jack Kept the nation relatively neutral until the conflict with Mars University. It is unknown to anyone why the conflict started. Because of this conflict, Saucy Jack decided to move away from The West Pacific and along with The Caleb (Who later changed thair name to Hot Prophets), form a region called "The Mohonks". Bojanza decided to jump in and be founder instead of Farfel, which slightly angered Saucy Jack. After The Tribal Lands of Farfel (T.L.F.) firmly establishing themselves in The Mohonks as the Director of Foreign Intelligence, the whole region made false allegations against Farfel and Hot prophets. Shortly after, a war began. The war stopped as quickly as it began and T.L.F. brought the region into submission, which let them to surrender. Though Farfel and Hot Prophets won, they decided to leave because they knew if they stayed it would cause more trouble. So they formed a new region where it was obvious that no one could "butt in", and called it "Rusty Shackleford".
The Assassination Of Saucy Jack
On the date of october 30, 2004, shortly after the incident in The Mohonks, Saucy Jack was shot several times in the back and once in the head. the identity of the assassin is unknown, but they were most likely working for Mars University, Bojanza, or Sabines. The council had to work fast, and so did the people. Once again they brung in the most prominent man in the council, named Akicita Ohitika.
Akicita Ohitika Current Times
Shortly after the voting in of Akicita Ohitika, a region called Hotel California was given to him. Along with Hot Prophets, they moved to these new foreign lands. Akicita Ohitika decided that these new lands needed to be protected, so he began an alliance program called "The Confederation of Regions". The alliance program is still going, he is out looking for new allies and new nations to join Hotel California.
