The State of Schonfrau is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 35.545 billion Schonfrauans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The very strong Schonfrauan economy, worth a remarkable 1,635 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 46,011 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 300,016 per year while the poor average 2,792, a ratio of 107 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, military spending is on the increase, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Schonfrau's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Schonfrau is ranked 21,380^th in the world and 1^st in Wallis et Futuna for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,434.63 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
