The Republic of Fantalandia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, unlimited-speed roads, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.246 billion Fantalandians 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 medium-sized, 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Fantalandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,922 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, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, 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 an amazing 227,416 Fantas, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, a fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, the army consists of only generals and grunts, and many marriages end in murder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 229,632nd in the world and 7th in Glass Gallows for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 18.4 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
