“Family, Freedom and Fatherland!”

The Federal Republic of The Fanboyists is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.195 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Religion & Spirituality are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inneville. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Breastfeeding mothers are replacing smokers to loiter outside the workplace, political activists are routinely executed, airport security is provided by private companies, and citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want. Crime -- especially youth-related -- 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 Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Iron Bar.

The Fanboyists is ranked 18th in the region and 4,512th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
