The Loving Couple of 4rt F4n is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Vee with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.749 billion 4rt F4nians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Connecticut. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 4rt F4nian economy, worth a remarkable 1,214 trillion snails a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,613 snails, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

Equality looks curiously unequal, Vee is famed for giving great back rubs, the 4rt F4nian Intelligence Agency relies on rumour and guidebooks to know what is happening overseas, and prison libraries are being replaced with interrogation chambers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 4rt F4n's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cards.

4rt F4n is ranked 36,629^th in the world and 2^nd in Enadia for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 6,761.49 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
