The Federal Republic of Fandalon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by De Los Reyes with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.244 billion Fandalonians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realonda. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fandalonian economy, worth 168 trillion Reals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 135,521 Reals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

More than one company makes the board game Monopoly, skyscrapers get built in just days, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and murderers and thieves claim divine inspiration to avoid prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fandalon's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fandalon is ranked 43,760^th in the world and 96^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,860.6 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
