The Loving Couple of ShippingFan

“I ship it!”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Loving Couple of ShippingFan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Xavier with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.595 billion ShippingFanians 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 large, 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 Westchester County. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ShippingFanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,012 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 153,571 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

It is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon, polite commuters on the Westchester County Metro always let hurried workers off the train first, children have only the most basic of education, and diplomacy is a foreign concept to ShippingFanians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ShippingFan's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

ShippingFan is ranked 23,957^th in the world and 1^st in Founderless for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.69 law-abiding acts per hour.
