The Kiekeboe Natie of Fanny is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Fanny Kiekeboe with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, disturbing lack of elderly people, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 25.593 billion Fannies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kiekeboestad. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fannyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,639 trillion Kiekeboes 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 64,053 Kiekeboes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, and military barracks resemble five-star hotels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fanny's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kiekeboedom.

Fanny is ranked 27,507^th in the world and 8^th in Vlaanderen for Safest, scoring 110.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
