The Federation of The Three States of Fortuna is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by High Commander Lyone with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, compulsory vegetarianism, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.545 billion Fortunans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Education, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Destino. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Fortunan economy, worth a remarkable 5,088 trillion Fortunes 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 amazing 440,718 Fortunes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, it is often said that only High Commander Lyone could bring down Dàguó, the government maintains that belief brings greater security than money or a roof, and foreign governments regularly accuse the Fortunan military of war crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Three States of Fortuna's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Clarityism.

The Three States of Fortuna is ranked 191,155^th in the world and 7,388^th in The East Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 7.86 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
