Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Federal Republic of The Fanboyists is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by President Andrew Filie with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed population of 9.993 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Faedrulhulm. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Organ donation is compulsory, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Fanboyists's national animal is the Mountain Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Catholicism, and its currency is the Federal Dollar.

The Fanboyists is ranked 18th in Tyrrhenia and 90,997th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -22 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
