The Loving Couple of Art-F4n- is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Belos with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, conspicuous electricity pylons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4.873 billion Art-F4n-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Emperor's Castle. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Art-F4n-ian economy, worth 598 trillion snails a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,839 snails, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 432,524 per year while the poor average 25,260, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

Supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, the youth vote is only counted when kindergarten teachers ask who drew the best picture, Belos's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and protests are prohibited from blocking traffic. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Art-F4n-'s national animal is the owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Cards.

Art-F4n- is ranked 223,142^nd in the world and 20^th in USSD for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.67 law-abiding acts per hour.
