The West Country Yokeldom of Fannyfield is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 872 million Fannyfielders are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Weston-super-Mare. The average income tax rate is 83.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fannyfieldish economy, worth 81.1 trillion fannyfrancs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 93,050 fannyfrancs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, "Leader got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Fannyfield. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fannyfield's national animal is the tit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fannyfield is ranked 26,408th in the world and 1,340th in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 84.74 on the Human Development Index.
