The New Lunar Republic of Fantrum is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Luna Nightingale with a fair hand, and renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.516 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Canterlot. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Citizens select which government department gets their income tax Credits each year, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Fantrum's radio stations, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is totally unknown. Fantrum's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Credit.

Fantrum is ranked 487th in British Isles and 128,079th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring -12 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
