The Loving Couple of -F4n 4rt is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Steve with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.101 billion -F4n 4rtians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, 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 Bonesborough. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.

The frighteningly efficient -F4n 4rtian economy, worth 592 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,244 snails, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

The internal market is thriving, former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, sofas are perpetually on sales that Must End Soon, and people unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending barrage of phone calls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -F4n 4rt's national animal is the owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

-F4n 4rt is ranked 30,645th in the world and 54th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 216.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
