The Fun of TheLandOfFun is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Big Boi Manager with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.777 billion Funians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beautiful Port. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.4%.

The frighteningly efficient TheLandOfFunian economy, worth 484 trillion bitcoins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 128,187 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Big Boi Manager's throne, foreign lack of enthusiasm for TheLandOfFunian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, and cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TheLandOfFun's national animal is the Russian Argali, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fun.

TheLandOfFun is ranked 29,084th in the world and 6th in Vibonia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
