The Empire of Fang is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 5.758 billion Fangians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The very strong Fangian economy, worth 300 trillion florins a year, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 52,238 florins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,911 per year while the poor average 5,457, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Fang's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Fang is ranked 179,590^th in the world and 1^st in Cobcanas for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
