The Loving Couple of ShipFan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Bruce with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.583 billion ShipFanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gotham. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ShipFanian economy, worth 831 trillion dollars a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,256 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trespassers entering Bruce's office are immediately vaporized, teenage girls in knee-length surfer shorts have become a cultural icon of ShipFan, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, and lottery winners spend most of their money on security. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ShipFan's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cards.

ShipFan is ranked 78,019^th in the world and 6^th in Valhalla for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
