The Republic of Fantalandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.5 billion Fantalandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fanta Fountain. The average income tax rate is 31.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Fantalandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,388 trillion Fantas 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 black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 176,939 Fantas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Farting etiquette is taught in schools, the Fanta Fish stadiums are open 24/7, pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, and there's a bustling black market for vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Fantalandia's national animal is the Fanta Fish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Fantalandia is ranked 135,975th in the world and 6th in Glass Gallows for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,315.48 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
