The Loving Couple of -Art-Fan- is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Obvioso with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory vegetarianism, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.946 billion -Art-Fan-ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonesborough. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The frighteningly efficient -Art-Fan-ian economy, worth 484 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,018 snails, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 490,579 per year while the poor average 10,999, a ratio of 44.6 to 1.

The population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, and the nation's coasts have been left unprotected while the entire navy sits in Brasilistani waters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Art-Fan-'s national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

-Art-Fan- is ranked 56,786th in the world and 1st in Aozora for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,867.02 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
