The Empire of Fanvm Tax is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 594 million Rizzlers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Detroit. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sigma economy, worth 35.3 trillion Robuxes 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, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. 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 59,505 Robuxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", peace talks occasionally rack up a higher body count than the wars they seek to stop, the government is attempting to impose a new national language on the public, and local councils have to call in dump trucks to clear parks of dinosaur droppings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fanvm Tax's national animal is the Skibidi Toilet, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fanvm Tax is ranked 233,520^th in the world and 138^th in Fifth Empire for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 525.68 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
