The FART MASTER of Fartmaster Q is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Quntein Wallbanger with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, avant-garde cinema, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.778 billion Fartmaster Qians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wetfartsburg. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Fartmaster Qian economy, worth 216 trillion Fart Gold Coins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,358 Fart Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Tardiness has increased after carpooling was classified as a criminal offense, the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven, burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, and state-sanctioned torture is okay so long as there's no icky blood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Fartmaster Q's national animal is the Wild Farting Ass, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Holy Order of the Wet Fart.

Fartmaster Q is ranked 189,883^rd in the world and 1^st in The Smelly Fart for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -1.41 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
