The Free Republic of Com Fan Yous is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Morina with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 899 million Com Fan Yousians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tivian. The average income tax rate is 84.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Yousian economy, worth 51.7 trillion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 57,466 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and Morina's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Com Fan Yous's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Com Fan Yous is ranked 135,641^st in the world and 1,599^th in the Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 57,466.77 Standard Monetary Units.
