The Free Land of Fools Paradise is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Luna Skys with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.149 billion Fools enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oasis. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Foolish economy, worth 344 trillion Prize Tickets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,463 Prize Tickets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Luna Skys's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and army doctors who come under attack defend themselves by using stethoscopes like nunchaku. Crime is totally unknown. Fools Paradise's national animal is the Mantis Shrimp, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fools Paradise is ranked 253,752nd in the world and 134th in Kelra for Most Stationary, with 17.90361354168 days.
