The Loving Couple of -Fan-Art is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bump with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, public floggings, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.647 billion -Fan-Artians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hexside. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.4%.

The frighteningly efficient -Fan-Artian economy, worth 709 trillion snails a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 106,700 snails, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Students spend the school year learning how great the education system is, virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in Hexside, government bureaucrats spend six hours per day justifying a six-hour workday, and tourists aren't the only ones that talk about coming back from a trip. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Fan-Art's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

-Fan-Art is ranked 316,521st in the world and 4,444th in Ambition for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -8.49 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
