The Commonwealth of Fab Four is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning Card Shark population. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 12 million Fab Fourians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Welfare, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Industry isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 26.6%.
The Fab Fourian economy, worth 595 billion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 49,659 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, surveillance cameras are banned, genetic researchers have been expelled, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown. Fab Four's national animal is the Card Shark.
Fab Four is ranked 153,745th in the world and 14th in IxChange for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.53 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
