The German Literature Club of Fantrum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Fredrick der Grosse with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.172 billion Germandos hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Fantrumian economy, worth an astonishing 10,594 trillion Marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 404,801 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime is totally unknown. Fantrum's national animal is the Floppy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Fantrum is ranked 274th in the world and 1st in Pax Britannia for Most Cultured, scoring 603 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
