The Republic of Fantalandia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Coca-Cola CEO Muhtar Kent with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.989 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 70.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Fantalandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,888 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 228,896 Fantas, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

The upper class have been throwing riots after hunting was recently banned, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, dining out often involves Fanta Fish on the plate no matter what you order, and the government is pouring billions into replacement brains. 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 6,766th in the world and 3rd in Glass Gallows for Most Stationary, with 2,840.6751264112 days.
