FATO is most likely an abbreviation for the country's full name (the O likely meaning Osea, the continent)

Countries in real life do this when they have names that can't be given a good shorthand, usually when they have names along the lines of "Federal Republic of [insert geographical region here]".

Examples

United Arab Emirates (UAE) Republic of the Congo (ROC or RotC) Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC or DROC) Central African Republic (CAR)

Minor-Examples: Federated States of Micronesia (FSM, often called just Micronesia) United States of America (USA, often called the US, United States,or America) United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK, United Kingdom, or Britain).
