The Loving Couple of Shipping Fan- is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Pu with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, rampant corporate plagiarism, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.439 billion Shipping Fan-ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spirit World. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Shipping Fan-ian economy, worth 942 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,363 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.8 times as much as the poorest.
The government prefers to kill off its enemies by peaceful means, the nation's weary schoolchildren excel at sport but must count scores on their fingers, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, and the cancellation of "The Real Vixens of Spirit World" has been described as a real blow for entertainment. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shipping Fan-'s national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.
Shipping Fan- is ranked 41,204th in the world and 21st in Greater Dienstad for Most Stationary, with 1,088.687324073 days.
