POSTER IN CUNO'S SHACK – GET OUT OF THE WAY -- OR GET FUCKED UP!
FALN is an industrial conglomerate whose products range from fashionable sportswear to motor vehicles.
Background[ | ]
FALN pursued several marketing campaigns to depict its clothing products as futuristic and dynamic, capable of unlocking peak physical performance. The brand adopted a profanity-laden slogan meant to appeal to youths.[1][2][3] They advertised in magazines with slogans such as "FALN 'Ultra' -- wear the future!" The design of FALN products is generally sleek and monochrome. Savoir Faire describes their sneakers as a "must-have" for track-and-field stars.[4] Jean Vicquemare, meanwhile, is dismissive of FALN gear, seeing it as befitting of high schoolers.[5]
Cuno claims that FALN Modular track pants are made in Mirova, by "pants scientists."[6] Tommy Le Homme trucks shipments of sporting goods made by FALN, usually to Graad and the Occident, though they have also been reaching Uamrao and L'Iramburde in Iilmaraa as of late. He says that FALN runs "a nice, clean business."[7][8]

Behind the scenes[ | ]
In a 2016 devblog, FALN is described as being "an industrial conglomerate" who "makes houses, tracksuits and heavy vehicles". It goes on to say that "the houses are terrible, the tracksuits legendary and the vehicles, well, the vehicles are okay I guess."[12]

ENCYCLOPEDIA – A motor lorry, also called a *camion* on Caillou and neighbouring islands. This one looks roughed up enough to be some sort of a FALN rust-bucket, maybe the A-6?
