The Republic of Fun Guo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, parental licensing program, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 981 million Fun Guoans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 39.2%.

The very strong Fun Guoan economy, worth 79.1 trillion Balls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 80,609 Balls, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fun Guo's national animal is the Ball, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fun Guo is ranked 66,527th in the world and 3,666th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,315.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
