The Space Nation of Fontona is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Castor with an even hand, and renowned for its enforced nudity and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 24.241 billion Fontonans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Andromeda. The average income tax rate is 35.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Fontonan economy, worth 760 trillion Nuts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,376 Nuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, Castor has just been declared ruler of Fontona in an international press conference, and Fontona has designated Andromeda as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fontona's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stars.

Fontona is ranked 199,501st in the world and 2nd in Exiled for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
