The Loving Couple of Art-Fan- is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Ghost with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory vegetarianism, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.181 billion Art-Fan-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blight Manor. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Art-Fan-ian economy, worth 790 trillion snails a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 127,827 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, foreign governments regularly accuse the Art-Fan-ian military of war crimes, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Art-Fan-'s national animal is the owl and its national religion is Cards.

Art-Fan- is ranked 36,005^th in the world and 27^th in India for Highest Average Incomes, with 127,827.57 Standard Monetary Units.
