The Republic of Fantalandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 17.152 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 71.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Fantalandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,890 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 226,835 Fantas, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
Coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, Fanta Fountain's back alleys are rife with sausage eating, and "What's the Frequency, Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent?" is a favorite phrase of backyard radio broadcasters when interrupting official diplomatic channels. 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 200,668th in the world and 6th in Glass Gallows for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 29.94 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
