The Empire of Fang is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 5.718 billion Fangians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The very strong Fangian economy, worth 298 trillion florins a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 52,238 florins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,911 per year while the poor average 5,457, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Fang's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Fang is ranked 293,106^th in the world and 1^st in Cobcanas for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -40.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
