The Loving Couple of Fan 4rt is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Camila with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, prohibition of alcohol, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.999 billion Fan 4rtians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Connecticut. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fan 4rtian economy, worth 621 trillion snails a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,356 snails, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Fan 4rtian Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, and nations around the region are recognising Gingerbeard as the new leader of Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Fan 4rt's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

Fan 4rt is ranked 265,940th in the world and 9th in Lisseum for Most Primitive, scoring -215.97 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
