The Loving Couple of Ship-Fan- is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ben with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 6.543 billion Ship-Fan-ians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coruscant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ship-Fan-ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,010 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 154,381 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,353 per year while the poor average 30,040, a ratio of 18.8 to 1.

Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, foreign football clubs wave the Ship-Fan-ian flag before every game, Ben has killer fashion sense, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ship-Fan-'s national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.

Ship-Fan- is ranked 82,806^th in the world and 72^nd in Eientei Gensokyo for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
