Linked to Nigin's 15-face example. And now 12-faces.

Addendum re Adam's solution; and Q3a.

Apr 28, 2014 at 16:09 comment added The Masked Avenger Actually "opposite corners" won't work: more care is needed.
Apr 28, 2014 at 16:00 comment added The Masked Avenger @ChristianRemling, one way is to divide 1 through 4k into four sets of k members, with two set representing horizontal edge lengths and the other two vertical, with matching sums. I get (in clockwise order) 78216534 as a closed polygon for k=2. I imagine many k will yield solutions, by breaking a k solution in half and taking care to add 4 edges "at opposite corners".
Apr 28, 2014 at 15:43 comment added The Masked Avenger With some tinkering I get 1123456789 (10 faces, with 12 adjacent, on up to 91 adjacent).(Oops. 56 are not adjacent.)
Apr 28, 2014 at 1:43 comment added Christian Remling @JosephO'Rourke: Yes, thanks, that's what I had in mind.
Apr 28, 2014 at 1:17 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @ChristianRemling: If I understand your meaning of "the 2 dimensional version," those are golygons: lattice polygons with edge lengths 1,2,3,...
Apr 28, 2014 at 1:13 comment added Christian Remling Is the situation for the $2$ dimensional version of the question clear? Otherwise, this might be a good warm-up.

Apr 28, 2014 at 0:41 comment added Qiaochu Yuan If you don't mind some comments on possible reasons why this question might not have received the attention you wanted, the title is simultaneously forbiddingly wordy and does not really convey the spirit of the question. Perhaps a friendlier title like "Can we find polyhedra with faces of area $1, 2, 3, ...$?" might be better?
