The Republic of Fontesia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kantel with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.764 billion Fontesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palusia. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Fontesian economy, worth 935 trillion Fontesia Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 120,473 Fontesia Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy Fontesians like vultures, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and official government guidance encourages binge behaviors. Crime is totally unknown. Fontesia's national animal is the Fontesian Alligator, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Fontesia is ranked 121,679^th in the world and 2,349^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
