Fe’ausi
The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe’ausi is a collection of tiny atolls in a far-flung forgotten part of the Pacific Ocean, straddling the International Dateline to be precise. Sure, most of these atolls are either sinking or Global Warming is making the seas rise to claim them, but the fact remains it is still an undiscovered paradise – and a paradise to all who have discovered it and been welcomed into the loving arms of King Gideon. And, my, what big and generous arms these arms are - especially if you are a rich person in search of a tax haven; or a mineral company looking to mine phosphate-rich guano; or a foreign government looking for a secluded atoll to test weapons of mass destruction.
The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe’ausi is a happy place. The people are happy because the King looks after them, royally. They have the best standard of living in the Pacific and they laugh and play and enjoy their idyllic life and the only reason anyone ever leaves to go to New Zealand (of which they are officially a protectorate – although who needs protecting from whom is a moot point) is because they are bored with paradise.
The people of The Most Royal Kingdom of Fe’ausi live in comfort and harmony because the Most Royal Kingdom of Fe’ausi is possibly the most corrupt place on earth. But in a nice way.
