The Federal Republic of Fandalon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by De Los Reyes with an even hand, and renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, complete lack of prisons, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.175 billion Fandalonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realonda. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fandalonian economy, worth 150 trillion Reals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 127,877 Reals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, and the new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fandalon's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fandalon is ranked 32,663^rd in the world and 65^th in The Union of Democratic States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
