The Republic of Fontesia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kantel with an even hand, and renowned for its feral children, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.613 billion Fontesians 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palusia. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fontesian economy, worth 912 trillion Fontesia Dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,905 Fontesia Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The face of Kantel is a permanent feature of the Palusia skyline, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, a surprising number of travelers carry their water in vodka bottles, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime is totally unknown. Fontesia's national animal is the Fontesian Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fontesia is ranked 15,992nd in the world and 386th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 99 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
